Advanced Security For Advanced Threats
What is cryptojacking?
It's a cyber attack where a hacker secretly uses a victim's device to mine cryptocurrency without their consent, often through malicious scripts or malware.
It drains the device's resources, slowing it down and causing higher electricity usage, while the attacker profits from the mined cryptocurrency.
Here are 3 tips to avoid a cryptojacking attack👇
1. Install reputable anti-malware and anti-virus software that can detect cryptojacking scripts. Many security tools now include features specifically designed to detect and block cryptojacking attempts.
2. Use browser extensions such as NoCoin, MinerBlock, or uBlock Origin to block cryptojacking scripts from running on websites.
3. Regularly update your operating system, web browsers, and any plugins (like Flash, Java, etc.) to the latest versions.
