Organizations’ on-premise and cloud-based servers are compromised, abused and rented out as part of a sophisticated criminal monetization lifecycle, Trend Micro research finds. The findings come from a report looking at how the underground hostin… Continue reading Cryptomining activity could be a sign your servers are under attack
Computer scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) system that may be able to identify malicious codes that hijack supercomputers to mine for cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin and Monero. “Based on recent computer break-ins in Eur… Continue reading New AI algorithm to detect cryptocurrency miners as they steal power
Torsus jumped onto the scene two years ago with one of the world’s ruggedest 4×4 buses for work and play. Now the Prague-based company broadens its work with VW Group chassis types, turning the VW Crafter 4Motion/MAN TGE 4×4 into what it calls the worl… Continue reading Torsus kicks up a virulent terra storm with new off-road explorer van
As we continue to explore other planets, we’re going to want to know not only what’s on their surface, but also what’s underneath it. That’s where the Mole-bot comes in – it’s a robot that autonomously tunnels its way through the ground.Continue Readin… Continue reading Mole-inspired robot is designed to dig its way through other planets
The news is full of the record low oil price due to the COVID-19-related drop in demand. The benchmark Brent crude dipped below $20 a barrel, while West Texas intermediate entered negative pricing. We’ve all become oil market watchers overnight, and for some of us that’s led down a rabbit …read more

Scientists found a surprising amount of lead in a glacier. They were studying atmospheric pollution by sampling ice cores taken from Alpine glaciers. The surprising part is that they found more lead in strata from the late 13th century than they had in those deposited at the height of the …read more
For the last two years or so, attackers have been infecting and reinfecting poorly secured MS SQL servers, booting other criminals’ malware from them and exploiting their compute power to mine Vollar and Monero cryptocurrency. 61.5 percent of the… Continue reading Are your MS SQL servers part of a cryptomining botnet? Check now!
Anglo American and Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) have joined forces to develop what will become the world’s largest hydrogen or electric powered mining truck, aiming to help bring carbon neutral mining within reach.Continue ReadingCategory: Autom… Continue reading Monster 1000-kWh hydrogen-powered electric mining truck to begin testing
If you’re like us, understanding the processes and methods of the early Industrial Revolution involved some hand waving. Take the blast furnace, which relies on a steady supply of compressed air to stoke the fire and supply the oxygen needed to smelt iron from ore. How exactly was air compressed …read more
