I saw some thread somewhere today, where Linux are being targeted by hackers to turn people's computers into mining machines. This is obviously some Alt coin, because the Bitcoin difficulty will render zero profit from this, even if they had a whole army of these machines.
People will also second guess images like this, because there are too many places to hide malicious code. ^hmmmm^
I don't think turning computers into mining machines is the biggest issue here, it's a far greater threat if it has some kind of keylogger or other kind of malware that would give access to the wallets being used.

I would mind, if my computers resources are being hogged by mining software and I did not know that. The electricity wasted has to be paid by someone and the hardware might even be damaged, if
these guys pushed it too hard. I kinda agree with that guy, because I hate slow computers and paying for something I did not benefit from. I use a Trezor and paper wallets for cold storage, so
malware and keyloggers are not my main concern, because I never access anything from my main computer... I use another device for Bitcoin payments.
