Middle East Malicious Infrastructure Report: 1,350+ C2 Servers Mapped Across 98 Providers
Between February and May 2026, over 1,350 active command-and-control servers were identified across 98 infrastructure providers spanning 14 Middle Eastern countries. Saudi Arabia's STC hosted 981 C2 servers, representing 72.4% of all regional malicious infrastructure, the largest concentration globally. C2 infrastructure dominated at 96.8% of detected activity, with IoT-focused botnets like Hajime, Mozi, and Mirai, alongside offensive frameworks including Tactical RMM, Cobalt Strike, and Sliver representing the primary malware families. The infrastructure supported diverse operations from state-sponsored espionage campaigns like Eagle Werewolf targeting state entities, to Malware-as-a-Service platforms, cryptomining operations, and destructive attacks such as DYNOWIPER. Key providers included SERVERS TECH FZCO in UAE, OMC in Israel, Türk Telekom, and Regxa in Iraq, demonstrating how telecommunications giants and specialized hosting services enable both commodity cybercrime and advanced persistent threat op...

Inside a Tor Backed Supply Chain Worm
A sophisticated npm supply chain attack was uncovered involving the typosquatted package crypto-javascri, designed to mimic the legitimate crypto-js library. The malware harvests npm and GitHub credentials from infected systems, hijacks maintainer accounts, and automatically republishes trojanized versions of packages under trusted identities. The final payload incorporates a weaponized Arti Tor client with credential theft, cryptomining capabilities, privilege escalation via SUID exploitation, and systemd-based persistence mechanisms. The campaign specifically targets Linux developer systems and CI/CD environments, using Tor-based command-and-control infrastructure to maintain anonymity and resilience. The attack creates significant downstream supply chain risk through its worm-like propagation model.

Is your computer fan suddenly screaming for no reason? You might be a victim of cryptojacking. This happens when malicious scripts use your hardware to mine digital currency without your consent. It drains your battery and slows everything down. Check your system resources if things feel weird. Stay safe. More info here: https://gwizit.com/go/jJBfGSm

Thermally conductive grease 8W/mk
Thermal grease gradually dries out and becomes ineffective as ASIC miners work over time and at high temperatures, leading to hashrate drops. That's why mining farm operators need to regularly inspect and replace the thermal grease on chip surfaces to ensure optimal cooling performance and mining efficiency.

Hackers exploit Qinglong flaws for cryptomining deployments
Hackers are taking advantage of two major flaws in the Qinglong open-source task scheduler, CVE-2026-3965 and CVE-2026-4047, which can be combined to gain remote control of vulnerable systems. These authentication-bypass vulnerabilities affect Qinglong versions 2.20.1 and older, and have been exploited for cryptomining deployments.

@caohuak @silverpill Well, to be honest, that crypto stuff doesn't have its bad rep entirely undeservedly. It appears to be used as a cash grab or for get-rick-quick schemes more often than not.
The massive gambling with the big cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum that causes both to be highly volatile.
Gigantic Ethereum mining farms with countless high-end graphics cards that eat up more electricity than a bigger town, often even fossil or nuclear energy because there simply isn't enough renewable energy available where they're located.
NFT hypes. Masses of NFTs that were procedurally generated and sold for insane amounts of money. See Bored Apes. They've made a few people very rich with next to zero effort. Others have lost a lot of money because these NFTs are literally absolutely worthless today.
And this is a field that I'm pretty familiar with: The Metaverse. Mind you, I'm not talking about Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads. That isn't the Metaverse. I'm not talking about "the Metaverse" a.k.a. "the Meta Metaverse" a.k.a. "the Facebook Metaverse" a.k.a. "Zuckerberg's Metaverse" either which, by the way, is actually named Horizon.
No, I'm talking about cryptobros jumping upon the Metaverse bandwagon, hoping to squeeze some money out of it.
The blueprint of this all has to be a virtual world named Decentraland which was opened in February, 2020, just in time for the COVID-19 pandemic that caused real-life social interaction to grind to a complete halt and made virtual worlds the more popular.
In fact, it was a crypto platform before it became a virtual world. In 2017 already, its own cryptocurrency MANA, which is on the Ethereum blockchain, was first traded to raise money to get the world itself started. And even as a virtual world, it's a crypto platform because Decentraland is pretty much all about minting and selling NFTs.
Part of its concept is that deeds to parcels of land are minted as NFTs and then sold. And these parcels aren't even that big. Better yet, they were sold before they even existed as actual virtual land. Basically, Decentraland sold deeds to something that they yet had to make. But they got enough customers to bite, including big fashion brands, but also real-estate companies that scooped up land to sell it with a big profit.
Users, especially right-wing extremists, created avatars with slurs for names just to mint them as NFTs and sell them for a fortune. Nothing was done against it. I mean, the more NFTs were sold for MANA, the more MANA was traded, the more volatile it became, the higher profits one could make by trading it.
Decentraland advertises itself as "the first decentralised Metaverse". This is nonsense. Yes, it's "decentralised" in the sense that MANA is not running on the Bitcoin blockchain. Yes, it's also "decentralised" in the sense of being governed by a DAO.
But the virtual world system itself is a centralised, monolithic silo owned and operated by one and the same entity. The actual "first decentralised Metaverse" is made up of the worlds based on OpenSimulator from as early as 2007. This, by the way, is where I regularly am.
It's every bit as decentralised as any Fediverse software out there. As in, you can have an avatar in one world and teleport to another world, on another server, under another domain, owned and operated by other people, appearance, inventory and all. As in, the five developers, including only one actual coder, don't own anything beyond their own patches of land.
Another aspect that makes blatantly clear just how Decentraland is a crypto cash grab more than anything else: The actual world itself is buggy as hell. And precious little is done to fix these bugs. In fact, they don't even seem to matter because Decentraland is not about spending time in-world, which is why it's rather deserted and empty, but about minting, selling and buying NFTs.
As COVID brought with itself a virtual world boom from which even Second Life could profit, crypto-based virtual world started spreading. For example, The Sandbox had already been bought out, and it came back in March as a crypto-based world.
Hundreds of virtual worlds were at least announced in the early 2020s, all copying Decentraland's concept of minting deeds to virtual land as NFTs, backed by nothing more than an announcement and a promise, before even getting started with the actual virtual world. The latter was to be quickly and cheaply cobbled together using some 3-D game engine like Unity or Unreal Engine, neither of which is really fit for virtual worlds in which users can build stuff.
The best outcome was an actual virtual world which was barely in a functional state. It only existed for there to be something backing the NFTs. Oftentimes, the financial assets behind the world were kept in cryptocurrencies, hoping that they rise in value which would create more financial assets out of nothing. But when the cryptocurrency crashed, it became impossible to pay for the operation of the world or whatever employees it had. Crypto crashes kept killing crypto-based worlds left and right. It didn't help that most crypto-based virtual worlds used existing cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin.
In many other cases, however, there never was an actual virtual world to begin with. They never got it running. So their customers were sitting their with their expensive NFT land deeds and waiting for the actual land to be made. The longer it took for an announced virtual world to materialise, the harder it got to sell more NFT land deeds because the more unlikely it became that the actual land would ever exist. If plummeting land sales didn't put an end to the endeavour, the next crypto crash did.
I think there were even scammers among these cryptobros. They, too, announced a hot new crypto-based virtual world. They, too, started selling land deeds as NFTs. But they never had the intention to actually create and launch a virtual world. They sold shit-tons of NFTs for shit-tons of crypto money. Then they waited for the cryptocurrency to soar. If they were smart, they traded it all for millions in fiat money and made away with it to someplace offshore. If they weren't, if they wanted to keep on gambling, they, too, lost almost everything in a crypto crash.
Lastly: Around 2021/2022, many cryptobros staunchly insisted in virtual worlds absolutely requiring a blockchain, a cryptocurrency and NFTs for everything. According to them, it's technologically absolutely impossible to build virtual worlds without even only one of these. This was to keep people from getting interested (and invested) in non-crypto virtual worlds.
As a matter of fact, however, there are lots of virtual worlds that don't use a blockchain, that don't have a cryptocurrency, that don't have NFTs for anything. Second Life doesn't, and it never has since its launch in 2002. And Second Life still generates more revenue per user and month than Facebook, legally even.
OpenSim doesn't anywhere. Sansar didn't. High Fidelity didn't. Vircadia doesn't. Overte doesn't. Roblox doesn't. VRChat doesn't. Rec Room didn't. (Formerly Mozilla) Hubs doesn't. Horizon doesn't. Just to name a few. Some of these don't have any in-world payment system at all.
All these blatant lies, the total neglect of the actual virtual worlds and their misuse as a money printer don't really make me trust in crypto. Neither do the rampant gambling and the volatility.
Oh, and don't get me started about land prices in Decentraland vs Second Life vs OpenSim.

In fact, they don't even seem to matter because Decentraland is not about spending time in-world, which is why it's rather deserted and empty, but about minting, selling and buying NFTs.
As COVID brought with itself a virtual world boom from which even Second Life could profit, crypto-based virtual world started spreading. For example, The Sandbox had already been bought out, and it came back in March as a crypto-based world.
Hundreds of virtual worlds were at least announced in the early 2020s, all copying Decentraland's concept of minting deeds to virtual land as NFTs, backed by nothing more than an announcement and a promise, before even getting started with the actual virtual world. The latter was to be quickly and cheaply cobbled together using some 3-D game engine like Unity or Unreal Engine, neither of which is really fit for virtual worlds in which users can build stuff.
The best outcome was an actual virtual world which was barely in a functional state. It only existed for there to be something backing the NFTs. Oftentimes, the financial assets behind the world were kept in cryptocurrencies, hoping that they rise in value which would create more financial assets out of nothing. But when the cryptocurrency crashed, it became impossible to pay for the operation of the world or whatever employees it had. Crypto crashes kept killing crypto-based worlds left and right. It didn't help that most crypto-based virtual worlds used existing cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin.
In many other cases, however, there never was an actual virtual world to begin with. They never got it running. So their customers were sitting their with their expensive NFT land deeds and waiting for the actual land to be made. The longer it took for an announced virtual world to materialise, the harder it got to sell more NFT land deeds because the more unlikely it became that the actual land would ever exist. If plummeting land sales didn't put an end to the endeavour, the next crypto crash did.
I think there were even scammers among these cryptobros. They, too, announced a hot new crypto-based virtual world. They, too, started selling land deeds as NFTs. But they never had the intention to actually create and launch a virtual world. They sold shit-tons of NFTs for shit-tons of crypto money. Then they waited for the cryptocurrency to soar. If they were smart, they traded it all for millions in fiat money and made away with it to someplace offshore. If they weren't, if they wanted to keep on gambling, they, too, lost almost everything in a crypto crash.
Lastly: Around 2021/2022, many cryptobros staunchly insisted in virtual worlds absolutely requiring a blockchain, a cryptocurrency and NFTs for everything. According to them, it's technologically absolutely impossible to build virtual worlds without even only one of these. This was to keep people from getting interested (and invested) in non-crypto virtual worlds.
As a matter of fact, however, there are lots of virtual worlds that don't use a blockchain, that don't have a cryptocurrency, that don't have NFTs for anything. Second Life doesn't, and it never has since its launch in 2002. And Second Life still generates more revenue per user and month than Facebook, legally even.
OpenSim doesn't anywhere. Sansar didn't. High Fidelity didn't. Vircadia doesn't. Overte doesn't. Roblox doesn't. VRChat doesn't. Rec Room didn't. (Formerly Mozilla) Hubs doesn't. Horizon doesn't. Just to name a few. Some of these don't have any in-world payment system at all.
All these blatant lies, the total neglect of the actual virtual worlds and their misuse as a money printer don't really make me trust in crypto. Neither do the rampant gambling and the volatility.
Oh, and don't get me started about land prices in Decentraland vs Second Life vs OpenSim.

@caohuak @silverpill Well, to be honest, that crypto stuff doesn't have its bad rep entirely undeservedly. It appears to be used as a cash grab or for get-rick-quick schemes more often than not.
The massive gambling with the big cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum that causes both to be highly volatile.
Gigantic Ethereum mining farms with countless high-end graphics cards that eat up more electricity than a bigger town, often even fossil or nuclear energy because there simply isn't enough renewable energy available where they're located.
NFT hypes. Masses of NFTs that were procedurally generated and sold for insane amounts of money. See Bored Apes. They've made a few people very rich with next to zero effort. Others have lost a lot of money because these NFTs are literally absolutely worthless today.
And this is a field that I'm pretty familiar with: The Metaverse. Mind you, I'm not talking about Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads. That isn't the Metaverse. I'm not talking about "the Metaverse" a.k.a. "the Meta Metaverse" a.k.a. "the Facebook Metaverse" a.k.a. "Zuckerberg's Metaverse" either which, by the way, is actually named Horizon.
No, I'm talking about cryptobros jumping upon the Metaverse bandwagon, hoping to squeeze some money out of it.
The blueprint of this all has to be a virtual world named Decentraland which was opened in February, 2020, just in time for the COVID-19 pandemic that caused real-life social interaction to grind to a complete halt and made virtual worlds the more popular.
In fact, it was a crypto platform before it became a virtual world. In 2017 already, its own cryptocurrency MANA, which is on the Ethereum blockchain, was first traded to raise money to get the world itself started. And even as a virtual world, it's a crypto platform because Decentraland is pretty much all about minting and selling NFTs.
Part of its concept is that deeds to parcels of land are minted as NFTs and then sold. And these parcels aren't even that big. Better yet, they were sold before they even existed as actual virtual land. Basically, Decentraland sold deeds to something that they yet had to make. But they got enough customers to bite, including big fashion brands, but also real-estate companies that scooped up land to sell it with a big profit.
Users, especially right-wing extremists, created avatars with slurs for names just to mint them as NFTs and sell them for a fortune. Nothing was done against it. I mean, the more NFTs were sold for MANA, the more MANA was traded, the more volatile it became, the higher profits one could make by trading it.
Decentraland advertises itself as "the first decentralised Metaverse". This is nonsense. Yes, it's "decentralised" in the sense that MANA is not running on the Bitcoin blockchain. Yes, it's also "decentralised" in the sense of being governed by a DAO.
But the virtual world system itself is a centralised, monolithic silo owned and operated by one and the same entity. The actual "first decentralised Metaverse" is made up of the worlds based on OpenSimulator from as early as 2007. This, by the way, is where I regularly am.
It's every bit as decentralised as any Fediverse software out there. As in, you can have an avatar in one world and teleport to another world, on another server, under another domain, owned and operated by other people, appearance, inventory and all. As in, the five developers, including only one actual coder, don't own anything beyond their own patches of land.

Bitaxe vs Unmineable Coins, Which Crypto Mining Method Is Better
Unmineable Crypto mining has evolved significantly over the years.
What once required only a basic computer now demands specialized hardware, technical expertise, and access to affordable electricity. Among the modern innovations in this space is Bitaxe, a compact, open-source Bitcoin ASIC miner designed for hobbyists and developers. At the same time, platforms like Unmineable have simplified crypto mining to the point where almost anyone can participate using everyday hardware.
In this blog, we will explore what Bitaxe is, how it works, its advantages and limitations, and why Unmineable coins present a far more practical and profitable solution for most users in 2026.
What is Bitaxe?
Bitaxe is a small-scale, open-source Bitcoin mining device built around a single ASIC chip. Unlike industrial mining rigs that dominate large-scale operations, Bitaxe is designed for individuals who want to experiment with mining or better understand how the Bitcoin network operates.
It uses the same fundamental technology as large mining machines ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) chips but in a much smaller and more accessible format. This makes Bitaxe ideal for educational purposes, tinkering, and contributing small amounts of hash power to the Bitcoin network.
How Bitaxe Works
Bitaxe performs SHA-256 hashing, the cryptographic process used to secure the Bitcoin network. When you run a Bitaxe miner, it continuously attempts to solve complex mathematical problems required to validate transactions and mine new Bitcoin blocks.
There are two primary ways to use Bitaxe:
Pool Mining
You connect your device to a mining pool where your hash power contributes to a collective effort. Rewards are distributed proportionally, but with such low hash power, earnings remain extremely small.Bitaxe Solo Mining
This is essentially a lottery system. If your Bitaxe solo mining successfully mines a block, you receive the full reward. However, the probability is extremely low due to intense global competition.Bitax hashrate Specifications and Performance
Bitaxe devices are intentionally minimalistic. Typical performance metrics include:
- Hashrate: approximately 300–500 GH/s
- Power consumption: around 10–15 watts
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi or USB-based setup
- Noise level: nearly silent
To put this into perspective, modern industrial Bitcoin miners operate at over 100 TH/s, making them hundreds of thousands of times more powerful.
Bitaxe Profitability
Open-Source Flexibility
Bitaxe stands out because both its hardware and software are open-source. This allows users to modify firmware, customize performance, and experiment with mining configurations.
Bitaxe Power Supply
Compared to traditional mining rigs, bitaxe miner consumes very little electricity. This makes it accessible for users in regions where energy costs are high.
Educational Value
Bitaxe is one of the best tools for learning how Bitcoin mining works at a technical level. It offers a hands-on experience that no simulation can match.
Compact and Quiet
Its small size and silent operation make it suitable for home environments without the noise and heat associated with larger miners.
Limitations of Bitaxe
Despite its innovation, Bitaxe has significant drawbacks that limit its practicality.
Extremely Low Profitability
Due to its low hash rate, Bitaxe generates negligible income. In most cases, the electricity cost—even though minimal—outweighs the rewards.
High Competition
Bitcoin mining is dominated by large-scale operations with massive computational power. A single Bitaxe device cannot compete effectively.
Technical Setup
While not overly complex, Bitaxe still requires some technical knowledge to configure and optimize.
Not Scalable
Unlike GPU mining setups, scaling Bitaxe for meaningful returns is impractical.
What Are Unmineable Coins?
Unmineable is a platform that allows users to mine cryptocurrencies that are normally not mineable using traditional methods. Instead of directly mining coins like Bitcoin, users mine more accessible algorithms (such as Ethash or RandomX) and receive payouts in the coin of their choice.
This approach removes many of the barriers associated with ASIC mining and opens the door to a wider audience.
How Unmineable Works
Unmineable acts as an intermediary between your hardware and blockchain networks. Here’s how it functions:
- You use your CPU or GPU to mine a supported algorithm
- The platform converts your mining output into your chosen cryptocurrency
- You receive payouts directly to your wallet
This means you can mine coins like:
- Meme coins
- Low-cap altcoins
- Trending tokens
—all without needing specialized hardware.
Why Unmineable Coins Are Better Than Bitaxe
Accessibility
Bitaxe requires purchasing specific hardware and setting it up correctly. In contrast, Unmineable can run on:
- Standard laptops
- Desktop computers
- Entry level GPUs
This makes it significantly more accessible, especially for beginners.
Profitability Potential
While Bitaxe is largely unprofitable, Unmineable offers:
- Higher earning potential with GPUs
- Flexibility to switch coins based on market trends
- Better optimization for available hardware
Users can adapt their strategy to maximize returns, something not possible with Bitaxe.
Flexibility and Coin Choice
Bitaxe is limited strictly to Bitcoin mining. Unmineable, on the other hand, allows users to earn:
- Multiple cryptocurrencies
- Trending tokens with growth potential
- Passive income through diversified mining
This flexibility is a major advantage in a volatile crypto market.
Lower Entry Barrier
With Bitaxe, you must:
- Purchase hardware
- Configure firmware
- Join mining pools
With Unmineable, you simply:
- Download the software
- Enter your wallet address
- Start mining
This streamlined process reduces friction and makes onboarding easier.
Scalability
Unmineable setups can scale easily:
- Add more GPUs
- Upgrade your system
- Optimize mining configurations
Bitaxe does not offer this level of scalability due to its hardware limitations.
Real-World Practicality
In regions like Seychelles, where electricity costs and hardware availability may vary, Unmineable is far more practical because:
- It uses existing hardware
- It adapts to power constraints
- It provides better returns relative to cost
Bitaxe, while energy efficient, still cannot generate meaningful income.
Use Cases: Bitaxe vs Unmineable
Bitaxe is best for:
- Learning Bitcoin mining
- Experimenting with ASIC hardware
- Supporting decentralization in a symbolic way
Unmineable is best for:
- Earning crypto passively
- Mining without specialized hardware
- Exploring multiple coins and strategies
- Building scalable mining setups

Bitaxe represents an exciting step toward decentralizing Bitcoin mining and making ASIC technology more accessible. However, its limitations make it more of a learning tool than a viable income source.
On the other hand, Unmineable coins provide a far superior solution for anyone looking to actually earn cryptocurrency in 2026. With greater flexibility, accessibility, and profitability, Unmineable aligns better with the needs of modern crypto users.
If your goal is education and experimentation, Bitaxe is a great choice. But if your goal is real earnings and scalability, Unmineable is clearly the better option.
Unmineablecoins mining
The crypto mining landscape continues to evolve, offering both experimental tools like Bitaxe and user-friendly platforms like Unmineable. Understanding the difference between these approaches is crucial for making informed decisions.
For most users especially beginners and those without access to industrial-scale resources Unmineable stands out as the smarter, more efficient path to crypto mining and passive income.
