VERY IMPORTANT

Starting 2017-10-25, we noticed there was a large scale ongoing scan targeting the OrientDB databases. Further analysis found that this is a long-running botnet whose main goal is to mine Monero CryptoCurrency. We name it DDG.Mining.Botnet after its core function module name DDG. Currently we are able to confirm that the botnet has mined more than 3,395 Monroe coins, equivalent to USD 925,383 at current prices. In addition, there is another 2,428 XMRs (equivalent to USD 661,759) we have yet to fully confirm due to the mining pool's payment record issue. This makes DDG by far the second largest Monroe related botnet we have seen, just behind the MyKings Botnet we reported earlier.
