Topic: Has your computer been targeted by crypto mining malware? (Read 101 times)
As bad as the malware is, CoinHive is even worse because it runs in your web browser and very few people try to surf the web with Javascript disabled these days. Even legitimate sites like Salon are using it to supplement ad revenue. Obviously there are many factors that are decreasing the profitability of cryptomining, but cryptojacking definitely isn't helping.
I prepare for my RIG with never download another software except for software which mining needed and that too, recommended from this forum. and I always check device through task manager, if I find something suspicious and unusual in service then I kill those.
Suspicious traffic was generated by the malware, when the coinminer tried to contact its command and control server located on the Namecoin network infrastructure. The malicious software was programmed to mine Electroneum. So are you safe from malware..?
I do not download anything to my mining rigs. Everything is imported via USB stick from another computer. I do not log in to any websites on my mining rigs, no email, no anything. They are used strictly for mining. This reduces my overall exposure to malware.

Your software program vulnerability factor is exciting. I assume open supply publicises its weaknesses to all folks that can spot vulnerable code, but then again open source developers probably get hold of billions in tax-deductible donations from multinational enterprises that depend on open source operating structures, net servers, databases and mail servers.
