Dubbed ‘Satan’ by the threat actors, and ‘Lucifer’ by the researchers this malware exploits known bugs to infect Windows machines. Sharing the details in a post, the researchers explained that they caught two strains of Lucifer while analyzing the campaign. Yet, their functionalities predominantly remained the same, the version 2 being more advanced. Briefly, Lucifer malware aims at cryptojacking by dropping XMRig on target devices, and DDoS attacks.
