Cybercriminals are increasingly hijacking enterprise systems and websites for cryptocurrency mining.
Crowdstrike and several other security vendors have recently reported incidents where businesses have suffered serious application – and operational – disruptions after attackers took over their systems to mine for Monero, and to a lesser extent, other digital currencies like Ethereum and Zcash.
In many other instances, criminals are surreptitiously installing cryptominers on websites and hijacking systems belonging to people visiting the sites.
