Title: Popular Chrome extension is secretly mining cryptocurrency
Post by: SSH Shamma on January 05, 2018, 10:02:33 PM

Have you heard of cryptojacking? It's the practice of secretly using your computer's resources to mine cryptocurrency without the user's permission.

Typically, you'll see the practice on shady websites — popular Bittorrent site The Pirate Bay appears to have experimented with it at one point — but a cryptojacking program has recently been found in a popular Chrome extension.
