Background
Dexphot is cryptomining malware that targets Windows machines to profit from their computing resources. It uses a range of evasion techniques against common security products and relies on fileless methods to inject its malicious behavior. Microsoft notes that Dexphot hijacks legitimate system processes to mask its activity, and unless fully removed, its monitoring services and scheduled tasks trigger re-infection whenever defenders attempt cleanup.
