Hola Browser Windows Build Compromised by Undisclosed Monero Miner
A supply‑chain attack inserted an undeclared Monero miner into the Windows version of Hola Browser. The hidden binary adds a Defender exclusion, creates an auto‑start service, and runs when idle, affecting an estimated 0.1% of users. Hola has rebuilt its distribution pipeline and tightened code‑signing controls.
