Cryptojacking
| Cryptojacking is the unauthorized use of another person's computer to mine cryptocurrency. This is usually done without the victim's knowledge or consent. Cryptojacking can be done by installing malicious software on a victim's computer, or by using a victim's browser to mine cryptocurrency. Cryptojacking is a serious problem because it can lead to the theft of victim's personal information, and it can also slow down a victim's computer. Cryptojacking can be difficult to detect, and it can be hard to remove once it's installed on a victim's computer. If you think you may have been a victim of cryptojacking, you should scan your computer for malware and remove any malicious software that you find. You should also change any passwords that you think may have been compromised. |
