I got hit with this. I run Plex on Linux and I hadn't realized that they changed their apt repo URL at one point so I was way behind.

Luckily, the whole attack was hilariously incompetent. All of my cores were pegged at 100 so Plex was unusable so I went to investigate and immediately found a process called MyLovelyMiner.

I imagine someone trying to run an illicit crypto miner on other people's hardware would want to do so surreptitiously, but they sure made it as obvious as they possibly could.
