The organization reported &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.archer.ac.uk\/status\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">security exploitation on the ARCHER login nodes<\/a>,&#8221; shut down the ARCHER system to investigate, and reset SSH passwords to prevent further intrusions.<\/p>\n<p>The bwHPC, the organization that coordinates research projects across supercomputers in the state of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, Germany, also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bwhpc.de\/news.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">announced on Monday<\/a> that five of its high-performance computing clusters had to be shut down due to similar &#8220;security incidents.&#8221; This included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/websrv.hlrs.de\/cgi-bin\/hwwweather\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Hawk supercomputer<\/a> at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) at the University of Stuttgart<\/li>\n<li>The bwUniCluster 2.0 and ForHLR II clusters at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)<\/li>\n<li>The bwForCluster JUSTUS chemistry and quantum science supercomputer at the Ulm University<\/li>\n<li>The bwForCluster BinAC bioinformatics supercomputer at the T\u00fcbingen University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reports continued on Wednesday when security researcher Felix von Leitner <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fefe.de\/?ts=a04505b4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">claimed in a blog post<\/a> that a supercomputer housed in Barcelona, Spain, was also impacted by a security issue and had been shut down as a result.<\/p>\n<p>More incidents surfaced the next day, on Thursday. The first one came from the Leibniz Computing Center (LRZ), an institute under the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, which said it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lrz.de\/aktuell\/ali00856.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">disconnected a computing cluster from the internet<\/a> following a security breach.<\/p>\n<p>The LRZ announcement was followed later in the day by another from the Julich Research Center in the town of Julich, Germany. Officials said they had to <a href=\"https:\/\/dispatch.fz-juelich.de:8812\/HIGHMESSAGES\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">shut down the JURECA, JUDAC, and JUWELS supercomputers<\/a> following an &#8220;IT security incident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>New breaches also came to light today, on Saturday. German scientist Robert Helling <a href=\"https:\/\/atdotde.blogspot.com\/2020\/05\/high-performance-hackers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">published an analysis on the malware<\/a> that infected a high-performance computing cluster at the Faculty of Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss Center of Scientific Computations (CSCS) in Zurich, Switzerland also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cscs.ch\/publications\/news\/2020\/shutdown-after-cyber-incident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">shut down external access to its supercomputer infrastructure<\/a> following a &#8220;cyber-incident&#8221; and &#8220;until having restored a safe environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Attackers gained&nbsp; access via compromise SSH logins<br \/><\/h3>\n<p>None of the organizations above published any details about the intrusions. However, earlier today, the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) for the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI), a pan-European organization that coordinates research on supercomputers across Europe, has <a href=\"https:\/\/csirt.egi.eu\/academic-data-centers-abused-for-crypto-currency-mining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">released malware samples and network compromise indicators<\/a> from some of these incidents.<\/p>\n<p>The malware samples were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cadosecurity.com\/2020\/05\/16\/1318\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">reviewed earlier today by Cado Security<\/a>, a US-based cyber-security firm. The company said the attackers appear to have gained access to the supercomputer clusters via compromised SSH credentials.<\/p>\n<p>The credentials appear to have been stolen from university members given access to the supercomputers to run computing jobs. The hijacked SSH logins belonged to universities in Canada, China, and Poland.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Doman, Co-Founder of Cado Security, told <em>ZDNet<\/em> today that while there is no official evidence to confirm that all the intrusions have been carried out by the same group, evidence like similar malware file names and network indicators suggests this might be the same threat actor.<\/p>\n<p>According to Doman&#8217;s analysis, once attackers gained access to a supercomputing node, they appear to have used an exploit for the <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2019-15666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">CVE-2019-15666<\/a> vulnerability to gain root access and then deployed an application that mined the Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>Making matters worse, many of the organizations that had supercomputers go down this week had announced in previous weeks that they were prioritizing research on the COVID-19 outbreak, which has now most likely been hampered as a result of the intrusion and subsequent downtime.<\/p>\n<h3>Not the first incident of its kind<\/h3>\n<p>These incidents aren&#8217;t the first time that crypto-mining malware has been installed on a supercomputer. However, this marks the first time when hackers did this. In previous incidents, it was usually an employee who installed the cryptocurrency miner, for their own personal gain.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in February 2018, Russian authorities arrested engineers from the Russian Nuclear Center for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/russian-nuclear-center-staff-arrested-for-using-supercomputers-to-mine-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using the agency&#8217;s supercomputer to mine cryptocurrency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, Australian officials began an investigation into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/bureau-of-meteorology-staff-questioned-by-afp-over-cryptocurrency-mining-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">similar case at the Bureau of Meteorology<\/a>, where employees used the agency&#8217;s supercomputer to mine cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/supercomputers-hacked-across-europe-to-mine-cryptocurrency\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confirmed infections have been reported in the UK, Germany, and Switzerland.
