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 malware that can specifically mine the siacoin cryptocurrency in an affected device.
Then they marketed it to computer maintenance firms who allegedly helped to inject the malware to computers in internet cafes when they were doing regular checkup jobs.
Meanwhile, the utility bills of 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 (unnamed in the report) for regular checkup, the police arrested the firm’s chief executive officer in August, who later revealed information of the hackers.
