CTOnews.com, June 27 (Xinhua)-- Security research expert Cyble recently found that hackers spread a version of "Super Mario" PC with Trojans on the network. After users installed it, the computer became a mining tool for hackers.

Cyble said that the malware sample is Super-Mario-Bros.exe, which usually appears under the name "Super Mario Forever" on the network. Hackers packaged the game's ROM and simulator into a "self-extracting installer" and packed XMR miner and SupremeBot tools for mining, and open source Umbral Stealer Trojans to steal user information.

Cyble recommends that users should regularly check their system performance and CPU utilization, enable software to automatically update the configuration, install reliable antivirus software, etc., but the most important thing for CTOnews.com friends is that they should not be "greedy for petty bargains" at this level.
