How to Avoid Cryptojacking

There is no clear law that defines whether cryptojacking is legal or illegal, but the method is not ethical by any means as internet users have their resources taken away without their consent or receive any incentive.

Cryptojacked victims usually will notice that their devices will be low on battery quite fast, or their devices will heat up fast while some will observe that their CPU power utilization will be higher than usual. By entering your task manager, you can check your CPU utilization to check if you are being cryptojacked.

There are some security practices and plugins that you can use to avoid being a victim of in-browser cryptojacking:

• Never click on a link in an email.

• Turn off your JavaScript in the browser.

• You can run anti-phishing software, antivirus, and adblockers for chrome extensions like No Coin or MinerBlock.

• You can run specific script blockers such as NoScript or uBlock.

• Think of using more privacy-centric browsers such as Brave.

如何预防加密劫持

目前没有明确的法律来定义加密劫持是合法的还是非法的，但是这种方法在任何情况下都不符合道德规范，因为他们未经互联网用户的同意就使用了他们的资源并且不用支付任何报偿。

被劫持的受害者通常会注意到他们的设备电池电量很低，或者他们的设备会快速升温，而有些人会发现他们的CPU功率利用率会比平时更高。通过进入任务管理器，您可以检查CPU利用率以检查您是否已被加密劫持。

您可以使用一些安全操作和插件来避免成为浏览器内加密攻击的受害者：

• 切勿点击电子邮件中的链接。

• 在浏览器中关闭JavaScript。

• 您可以在Chrome扩展程序运行反网络钓鱼软件，防病毒和广告拦截器，来防范No Coin或MinerBlock等。

• 您可以使用特定的脚本阻止程序，如NoScript或uBlock。

• 考虑使用更多以隐私为中心的浏览器，例如[Brave]（https://brave.com/）。

Major Cryptojacking Incidents

One of the biggest cases of cryptojacking to ever happen is when the Shominru mining botnet infected over 500,000 hardware devices. Windows’ servers were the ones targeted, and over $3.5 million worth of Monero were mined by the victims.

Another high-profile cryptojacking incident was the Siacoin Internet Cafe hack when Chinese hackers mined over $800,000 million in Siacoin by infecting internet cafes with the mining script.

重大的加密劫持案件

最严重的加密劫持案例之一是Shominru挖矿僵尸网络感染了超过500,000个硬件设备。Windows的服务器是攻击的目标服务器，受害者开采了超过350万美元的门罗币。

另一个备受瞩目的加密劫持事件是当中国黑客利用采矿脚本感染网吧，在Siacoin中开采超过800,000,000美元的Siacoin！

Conclusion

There have been millions of users that have fallen victims to cryptojacking and thousands of websites have also been attacked. You cannot be completely protected against this threat, but the best thing you can do is to have good security practices and educate yourself so you can identify such attacks before they take over your device.

结论

已有数百万用户成为加密劫持的受害者，数千个网站遭到攻击。 您无法完全抵御此威胁，但您可以做的最好的事情就是拥有良好的安全措施并进行自我教育，以便在攻击设备之前识别此类攻击。
