ZDNET: New MrbMiner malware has infected thousands of MSSQL databases
If you haven't seen this, worth reading:
"A new malware gang has made a name for itself over the past few months by hacking into Microsoft SQL Servers (MSSQL) and installing a crypto-miner. [...] the botnet has exclusively spread by scanning the internet for MSSQL servers and then performing brute-force attacks by repeatedly trying the admin account with various weak passwords."
