Based on sinkhole data, between 2,000 and 3,500 computers are still pinging the malware&#8217;s C&amp;C server for new commands on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/eset-takes-down-victorygate-cryptomining-botnet\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"VictoryGate sinkhole activity\" data-original=\" https:\/\/zdnet2.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/04\/23\/0de5dc6f-84bf-42cd-8b1c-1e1110cec701\/image002.png\"><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet2.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/04\/23\/0de5dc6f-84bf-42cd-8b1c-1e1110cec701\/image002.png\" class alt=\"VictoryGate sinkhole activity\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">VictoryGate sinkhole activity<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\">Image: ESET<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Source of infection could be a tainted batch of USB drives<\/h3>\n<p>Warburton says they&#8217;re still investigating the botnet&#8217;s modus operandi.

The victim receives a USB drive that at some point was connected to an infected machine,&#8221; Warburton said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/2020\/04\/23\/eset-discovery-monero-mining-botnet-disrupted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">technical deep dive<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<p>After the malicious USB is connected to the victim&#8217;s computer, the malware is installed on the device.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, it appears that the VictoryGate malware might have been secretly been installed on a tainted batch of USB storage devices that have been shipped inside Peru. VictoryGate also contains a component that copies the USB infector to new USB devices connected to a computer, helping it spread to new devices.<\/p>\n<p>Warburton also said that based on currently available information, the VictoryGate authors would have most likely made at least 80 Monero coins, estimated today at around $6,000.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
