For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run! https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Is_Wine_malware-compatible.3F
minus-squarePyro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up94·2 years agoThis happened to me not long ago when I found a monero miner running on my laptop. Being a highly technical person, I feel unbounded shame.
minus-squarehavokdj@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 years agoWas it still through WINE? I’d feel bad for the miner as well as it likely couldn’t have done the MSR mod so low hashrate lol.
minus-squareKittenstix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 years agoFeeling bad that a scammer couldn’t scam hard enough is hilarious. Only in a Linux forum.
minus-squarehavokdj@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoTbf, if you get an OOTB distro infected, that is most definitely user error
minus-squareditherwither@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoIf you (somehow) manage to get gentoo or lfs infected, I’d still consider it user error lol
minus-squarehavokdj@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoLFS maybe, but gentoo or arch is understandable because you have to set the security up yourself.
minus-squarePyro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoYes it was, I run Zorin (Ubuntu-based) on my laptop.
minus-squareTangent5280@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoHow did you figure out it was running? How did you confirm? Teach me your methods Please
minus-squarePyro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 years agoIt was pretty easy to spot in htop since it had really high CPU usage. Plus, the command line args it launched with included the word “Monero” multiple times, so that was a bit of a giveaway haha
