XMRIG service starts itself in Safemode (malware)

I'm having an issue where even in safemode a process called XMRIG is starting itself from root.

 

I have included the diagnostics and a list of services running, these were collected from a fresh safemode reboot before I killed the XMRIG process.

Unfortunately, I 'think' the process is set to restart itself.

Any and all help salvaging this system would be appreciated, thank you.

It is being started by an amended config/go file on the flash drive:

 

yours reads

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
tor
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &
/bin/bash /boot/config/wireguard/go

while the standard default one issued with Unraid only contains

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &


if there are any files in the ‘extras’ folder on the flash drive they should also be removed.

 

More concerning is how a bad actor gained access to your server in the first place to make these changes.   Do you have your server exposed to the internet?

I have DuckDNS set up for easy access to Jellyfin.

Since this happened I have disabled any forwarded ports on my router as that is likely how access was gained. (I think, I'm a novice at servers like this.)
