Security experts have discovered a malware campaign, known as RedisRaider, which exploits misconfigured Redis servers to stealthily mine cryptocurrency. The malware spreads by exploiting weak configurations, subsequently deploying the XMRig Monero miner on compromised Linux systems.

Security firm Datadog discovered the operation and identified additional components of the attack including a web-based Monero miner.
