Issue
We are using an EC2(Ubuntu) amazon instance for running Apache.Recently we noticed that there is a process using the entire CPU.
We removed it using the help of the following procedure
[root@hadoop002 tmp]# systemctl status 25177

[root@hadoop002 tmp]# rm -rf kinsing
But after a few minutes, It again started automatically. Anyone know how to fix this?
Solution
The solution mentioned here worked for us. You basically create the files the miner uses, without any rights, so the miner cannot create and use them. https://github.com/docker-library/redis/issues/217
touch /tmp/kdevtmpfsi && touch /var/tmp/kinsing
echo "everything is good here" > /tmp/kdevtmpfsi
echo "everything is good here" > /var/tmp/kinsing
touch /tmp/zzz
echo "everything is good here" > /tmp/zzz
chmod go-rwx /var/tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
