Other than income from clicking ads, some porn site operators in China have found new ways for their wallets. Recently, a report from Tencent exposed that many websites in China have embedded JavaScript to mine crytpocurrency, or XMR to be more specific. Coinhive service is employed without notifying visitors.
Once visitors access websites that are embedded with mining scripts, they will need to wait a while for loading the pages, little do they know that the auto execution of JavaScripts miner are consuming large portion of CPU usage for mining Monero, or XMR featuring anonymous transaction. Such websites are usually porn site, internet literature, webpage online game etc. As the slow loading of pages could be interpreted as bandwidth or connection problem, it’s difficult for users to detect the mining script, which helps the spread of such behavior.
PV of JS miner spiked in late September and the trending is still upward, which means more victims could be expected.
Previously Pirate Bay, the most popular bittorrent site, has been found using the same script to mine Monero.
Tencent owns the most popular socializing tool in China and has great media influence. The exposure links cryptocurrency with porn sites and may inspire more interest on both subjects.
It is happening guys. China porn sites are adopting Monero!!!
