Once the cryptominer is downloaded, the victim might not immediately be aware it’s there, running in the background, draining both power and CPU capacity, the ReasonLabs report added.

It also adds a “watchdog process” for persistence. ReasonLabs reported that the miner’s file name translates from the original Russian, “spiderman_net_,” to “spiderman_no_” in English and is capable of adding exclusions to Windows Defender. They added that as of yet, no one has identified this malware edition. “This suggests that it’s been downloaded a lot.” “The Spiderman malware is actually a new ‘edition’ of a previously known malware that was disguised as various popular apps in the past such as ‘windows updater,’ ‘discord app,’ and now the Spiderman movie,” the ReasonLabs teams explained in a Thursday report. The file was flagged by a user and didn’t match any other known suspicious files in their database, the report said.Īlthough the researchers haven’t pinpointed how many times the miner has been downloaded, their hunch is that it’s been around for a while, they explained in a statement.
