"Guys, just had a nightmare scenario - my server got rooted by a zero-day exploit and I need immediate advice. I was running a popular crypto mining pool and the attacker wiped my entire node overnight. First thing I do - cut off all external access and initiate a full system lockdown, right?"

"Yikes, sorry to hear that dude. First thing I'd do is immediately change the SSH keys and update to the latest stable version of the OS. Then, I'd run a thorough scan to see if any other backdoors were left behind."
