Time to time I'm getting alarmed that the server has high resource consumption after investigating the issue I found that there a process named xmr999 use the hole server CPU resources, I can't find any information about this xmr999,



same time the service provider send Abuse complaint regarding the server. the complaint is the server used to attack another server



I checked the server for backdoor or virus it showed clean



is there any advice regarding this xmr99, what is this or how can I block it?
