A Monero-mining malware called "Digmine" is spreading via Facebook Messenger by luring users to open a ZIP (video_xxxx.zip) that contains an AutoIt executable; once executed it downloads mining components from a remote C2, installs persistence, and launches a malicious Chrome extension to hijack victims' Facebook accounts and propagate to their contacts — infections were observed across multiple countries and mobile Messenger access is not affected.
