Retrieving Previous Container Logs in Kubernetes with kubectl --previous

When a pod crashes and continuously restarts, using the standard kubelet logs may fail to capture output, but the kubectl --previous flag can retrieve logs from the prior container instance by accessing the kubelet‑managed log files under /var/log/pods.

Kubelet Misconfiguration Triggered a Mining Attack – What We Learned

After discovering a compromised node in our self‑built Kubernetes cluster that was being used for Monero mining, we traced the breach to empty iptables rules and a misconfigured kubelet allowing anonymous API access, then outlined firewall hardening, network isolation, and secure kubelet practices to prevent future intrusions.
