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.
