Poorly protected PostgreSQL databases on Linux are being compromised by cryptojacking attackers who brute-force access credentials. Attackers create high-privilege user roles, strip compromised roles of superuser privileges, and deploy two payloads: PG_Core
, which removes cron jobs and kills competing malware, and PG_Mem
, which installs the XMRIG cryptominer. PostgreSQL's open-source nature and common deployment in cloud environments make it a favorite target for these attacks.
