Bitcoin Mining

Post by The Aspie Toker »

I saw this and thought I'd share it.

Has your smartphone suddenly slowed down, warmed up, and the battery drained down for no apparent reason?

If so, it may have been hijacked to mine Bitcoin and other digital currencies in a new type of attack called 'cryptojacking'.

Security experts are warning over malicious apps that may contain hidden code that can takeover your device's processor and set it to work for criminals.

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Sure right there, mate. Ones that should be concerned are ones that run out-of-date forum software and use http.

If it was done on purpose (which it was) then it's not a glitch :D
