Google started searching the Cloud for cryptocurrency mining malware
Google Cloud began using VMTD — Virtual Machine Threat Detection. Users' cloud storage will now be scanned for malware, including cryptocurrency mining, Google said in a blog post.
The post notes that VMTD is "the first detection capability from a major cloud provider on the market," which agentless memory scans and helps detect threats running in the Cloud.
In November, Google discovered that 86% of compromised Cloud accounts were being used to mine cryptocurrencies, which motivated the company to beef up protection.
