A group of hackers has allegedly colluded with computer maintenance firms in China to hack into computers owned by internet cafes to mine cryptocurrency.
The report said the hackers first developed a piece of malware that can specifically mine the siacoin cryptocurrency on an affected device.
They then marketed it to computer maintenance firms who allegedly helped to inject the malware to computers at internet cafes whilst carrying out routine checkups.
Meanwhile, the utility bills of the affected internet cafes in Rui’An also went up significantly during that period, the report said.
Since most internet cafes in Rui’An used the same computer maintenance firm (which was unnamed in the report), the police arrested the firm’s chief executive officer in August, who later revealed information on the hackers.
