Hey,


So first of all, as you know, UEFI malwares are stubborn,

and often are not removable.


I am quite sure that what I have, is a coin miner:

typical symptoms of 100 CPU, warm computer, RAM space is really small (available RAM).

and also, over time, some foreigner is taking over logons and gains control over my system.



I have 2 laptops,

+ one samsung mobile phone.



Both of my computers have the exact same signs, They both were infected at around the same time.

And maybe it is important to mention-

My internet provider has suffered of some serious attacks by hackers for 6 months

which is when I got the infection.


I did a checkup few days ago, and my router is really old. The producer does not update it anymore for patches.


Currently I want to buy new devices-

Do you know whether it is possible that the malware came from the router, or internet provider?

I want to know what I should do in order to prevent the same issue on new devices.

And if I should replace router immediately



Thanks!
