Detection & response playbook
CryptominerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for Monero (2 malicious versions). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging Monero across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Monero hijacks resources to mine cryptocurrency. Remove it, check for abnormal CPU/GPU and cloud-cost spikes, and rotate any credentials exposed to the compromised process.
Did it already run?
If Monero was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks Monero before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks Monero-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the mining traffic and severs the channel.
