Attackers Exploit AhsayCBS Flaws to Deploy XMRig Miners Disguised as Microsoft Edge

Attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in AhsayCBS, a widely used enterprise backup and replication suite, to install the XMRig cryptocurrency miner on victim servers. The miner runs masquerading as Microsoft Edge, so its malicious process hides behind a trusted browser name in system monitors. Once inside, it hijacks CPU resources to mine Monero, degrading server performance while defenders chase what appears to be a legitimate background app. Operators are urged to patch AhsayCBS and audit for the disguised process.
