Threat Actor Mimo Targets Magento and Docker to Deploy Crypto Miners and Proxyware

Threat Actor Mimo Targets Magento and Docker to Deploy Crypto Miners and Proxyware

Jul 23, 2025 Malware / Cryptocurrency
The threat actor behind the exploitation of vulnerable Craft Content Management System (CMS) instances has shifted its tactics to target Magento CMS and misconfigured Docker instances. The activity has been attributed to a threat actor tracked as Mimo (aka Hezb), which has a long history of leveraging N-day security flaws in various web applications to deploy cryptocurrency miners. "Although Mimo's primary motivation remains financial, through cryptocurrency mining and bandwidth monetization, the sophistication of their recent operations suggests potential preparation for more lucrative criminal activities," Datadog Security Labs said in a report published this week. Mimo's exploitation of CVE-2025-32432, a critical security flaw in Craft CMS, for cryptojacking and proxyjacking was documented by Sekoia in May 2025. Newly observed attack chains associated with the threat actor involve the abuse of undetermined PHP-FPM vulnerabilities in Magento e-commerce inst...
