we are in the same situation. Early morning today found one host with a high cpu usage. Turned out it was running `./yam` process as a `redis` user. I shut the host down for now. Before shutting it down I did a strace and saw json stream clearly stating that it is a monero app. Looks like the cpu spiked about 12 hours ago. We do have redis on a host but it should be behind the iptables rules. Other hosts look ok.


We were able to get in touch with the hacker and he told us he was just mining and not stealing stuff. We're still cleaning the whole system; might even pay him/her a bounty for this though.
