PCPJack Cloud Worm - Kubernetes and Docker Credential Sweep with Competitor Malware Cleanup
This rule detects potentially malicious activity within Linux environments or containers where a single user context concurrently performs credential hunting (via environment variable dumping or accessing .env files) and terminates processes associated with known cryptocurrency miners or competing malicious actors. This behavior is highly indicative of a cryptojacking infection or a malicious actor clearing out existing resource-hijacking threats.
