Taylor Swift's pic used to hide malware by cryptocurrency mining botnet

A cryptocurrency-mining botnet is infecting computers with an image of American singer Taylor Swift to spread its malware. The operators of botnet MyKingz are using steganography, a technique that enables them to hide malicious files inside the genuine ones, according to UK cybersecurity firm Sophos. They are hiding a malicious EXE file inside a genuine JPEG image of Taylor Swift.
