Hackers made $110,000 in cryptocurrency on hijacked HP servers
By MYBRANDBOOK
The hackers breached a data center's cybersecurity and reprogrammed its HP servers to help them mine Raptoreum cryptocurrency. In total, the hackers made off with approximately US$110,000 worth of the currency.
The sudden disappearance of the HP server group indicated that the servers had been patched, revealing to be used non-consensually. During the period in which the HP servers were mining, the address accumulated about 30% of the total block reward or 3.4 million RTM.
Raptoreum’s base algorithm, GhostRider, is a blend of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake, that’s intentionally resistant to accelerators and other causes of instability. GhostRider is particularly fond of AMD CPUs because of their large L3 cache. Raptoreum is surprisingly profitable on AMD’s costly Epyc server CPUs because of their 256 MB of cache on models with 32 or more cores.
This likely prompted the hackers to target the HP servers, which were found in an informal investigation conducted by Raptoreum’s developers to be 9000-series and using Epyc processors. All of this information is viewable through the Raptoreum blockchain. Its developers are bringing attention to it to dismiss the rumor that Raptoreum is unstable.
