Previously covered in our Daily Diary #312, LemonDuck is a crypto mining botnet, active since at least the end of 2018. Initially, it targeted Microsoft Exchange servers by compromising Windows-based devices, but recent campaigns found new samples targeting
Linux systems through the exposed Docker API.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since April this year, LemonDuck takes advantage of APIs exposed by misconfigured Docker cloud instances. It implements its malicious container with a script to download and start a Monero(XMR) miner, XMRig. During the mining process, XMRig connects to
a mining pool. This helps LemonDuck to disguise the real CryptoWallet that receives the mined coins. LemonDuck also exfiltrate SSH keys on the deployed machine, which helps the threat to move laterally through the network. The malware also receives additional
modules and tools from the C&C server that can be used for future attacks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>LemonDuck is one of the few cross-platform bot malware families that are constantly evolving. We strongly recommend that companies harden the security of the Docker engine by ensuring that container images are authenticated and signed, enabling Docker's
built-in security features, and close any exposed Docker ports.</div>
