The exploit was dropping some malicious payloads that we took for further analysis. It turned out that they are also atypical by many means. In this article, we will describe the details of our investigation."

This choice makes sense, because the pool of bitcoins is more and more saturated \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and nowadays mining them is much more difficult  and resource-consuming than it was in the past, when this currency was still young.",
