An aggressive cryptojacker tests new exploits as it rapidly adopts upgraded features. The Lemon Duck cryptominer is one of the more advanced types of cryptojacker payloads observed by Sophos. Its creators continuously update the code with new threat vectors and obfuscation techniques to evade detection, and the miner itself is "fileless"” meaning it remains memory resident and leaves no trace of itself on the victim's filesystem.
