So, I got hacked last night. Or, more accurately, i was an idiot and let an unknown program run a miner on my system.
My guess is that it came in through a plugin for Calibre (I'm not sure which one though; definitely something from the default list because i didn't go out of my way to download random plugins). Thankfully, since the calibre instance was containerized, I was able to remove it as soon as I found out.
All i lost was one night's worth of processing power and electricity.
Now, 2 things I would like to know:
-
is there a way to decompile the binaries at to find the bastard who stole $2 from me?
-
is there a way to notify myself when some program is using up 100% of my cpu/gpu for extended periods of time?
I would also like to serve as a reminder to all you good folks that it doesn't matter how locked down your network is if you lay down a red carpet and welcome the bastards in yourself.
