Juniper Threat Labs discovered a family of Monero Miners that spreads through cloud storage providers such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. It also has the ability to mutate or change itself to try to avoid detection. The volume of unique samples is relatively large, as more than 160,000 unique samples were submitted to VirusTotal over a period of 90 days. This malware can also spread via removable drives.
