New malware spreading fast via Facebook Messenger: Report

San Francisco: A new cryptocurrency-mining bot, named "Digmine", that was first observed in South Korea, is spreading fast through Facebook Messenger across the world, Tokyo-headquartered cybersecurity major Trend Micro has warned. After South Korea, it has since spread in Vietnam, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, the Philippines, Thailand and Venezuela. It is likely to reach other countries soon, given the way it propagates. Facebook Messenger works across different platforms but "Digmine" only affects the Messenger's desktop or web browser (Chrome) version.
