Team.exe CPU Miner

Team.exe that has the identification code MD5: 32afff303b6f09fc50184a7a63a9ef3f is not a process that belongs to a legitimate program. Team.exe is usually found under a folder with a random name that has the attribute "Hidden," and is located in the AppData Directory. Computer security analysts have discovered that Team.exe is used by third parties to mine Bitcoin and Monero on the computers of unsuspecting users. The Team.exe CPU Miner is based on the XMRig CPU Miner that we covered earlier in 2017. The Team.exe CPU Miner was spotted by cybersecurity researchers in April 2018. The ascend of digital currencies like Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, and Litecoin has inspired many malware creators to infect computers and host a cryptocurrency miner. The more PCs are running the Team.exe CPU Miner, the more money a threat actor can make in the long run.

The cryptocurrency economy is built upon donations of processing power, which allows for the efficient transfer of digital funds with a significant boost in security and reliability compared to conventional money transfers. Cryptocurrency transfers are done via blocks, each block containing thousands of transactions that are encrypted, and a powerful CPU is needed to make sure that the data in the "blockchain" is not corrupted. Unsurprisingly, everyone who donates processing power to Bitcoin, Monero, etc. is paid a portion of the digital money transfers that were verified with their hardware.

The Team.exe CPU Miner is part of a large network of compromised machines so that the revenues can be consolidated and managed efficiently. The Team.exe CPU Miner may be installed to computers via free software bundles, pirated software, fake updates to Adobe Flash and Java. The Team.exe Miner is programmed to take up 70% of the CPU power, and PC users may notice slow system performance, program crashes, and sluggish Web browser behavior. It is recommended to remove the Team.exe CPU Miner with the assistance of trustworthy anti-malware application. Commonly used detection names include:

  • HEUR:Trojan.NSIS.BitMin.gen
  • Mal/Miner-C
  • Multios.Trojan.CryptocoinMiner
  • Trojan.Miner.Win32
  • Trojan.Monero.Coinminer
  • Win32.Riskware.BitMiner
