Through EternalBlue Exploit Cryptominer Malware Batters Vietnam, Iran

A new version of the cryptojacking malware NRSMiner has been detected across Asia — especially in Iran and Vietnam — compromising computer systems which have not been patched against the well-known EternalBlue exploit.
It is believed EternalBlue was originally the work of the Equation Group of the US National Security Agency (NSA). More than a year after the world first saw the Eternal Blue exploit in action in 2017, unpatched machines in Asia are still being infected with NRSMiner through the exploit. The malware is designed to steal computing resources in order to mine for cryptocurrency.
