In early November 2021, Trend Micro had a report about compromised Docker Hub accounts used for mining cryptocurrencies and that these activities were associated with the threat actor TeamTNT. Although these accounts have since been removed, Trend Micro security researchers were able to continue investigating TeamTNT's activities related to these compromised accounts.

In the above tweet, Trend Micro Research announces a follow-up post describing how the TeamTNT attackers proceeded to take over the accounts. The compromised host was made a node of the Weave Scope cloud instance controlled by the threat actors, from where the attackers could execute various commands.
