November 8, 20232 yr Recently I started realizing that my CPU usage has been jumping up to 100%. I recently learned about the htop command and used that to see running process. Well, I've found the buggar, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at or where to begin to resolve the issue. Looking this up, it seems like the process is some sort of bitcoin miner. So, one trying to figure out how to get this off and two, how did it get there? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If so there is a good chance you have been hacked. If you post your system’s diagnostics zip file we might be able to determine how the miner is being loaded if that is what it is.
November 9, 20232 yr Author I am doing some port forwarding for some of the services on Unraid such as Plex, Transmission and a while ago when I was playing around with a reverse proxy I have 80 forwarding to 8001 and 443 to 44301. Here are the diagnostic from my system. Let me know if you find anything. infinity-diagnostics-20231108-1644.zip
