    Even if bitcoin currency weakens, a lot of money can be earned with prospecting of NeuerKryptowährungen, also called mining. Because this is too complex for commercial computers in many Fälleninzwischen ( mamatical calculations simply take too long with simple PC processors) because it eats power and processing power, and not every access to EineBitcoin server farm in Mongolia Or a Russian super computer, scene becomes inventive.

    The SicherheitsfirmaRadiflow, which specializes in industrial plants, reported last week that mining malware had penetrated into computer system Eineseuropäischen waterworks. The planted malware had Kryptowährung report after Monero, which still needed comparatively wenigProzessorleistung. That had a "erheblichenEinfluss" on systems of plant, it is stated in report VonRadiflow.

    In case of waterworks, software had to behave like a parasite: grab as much processing power as possible without being noticed. After all, if system is too busy, derParasit will eventually fall faster. In addition, it has some Abwehrmechanismengehabt to circumvent anti-virus software. It was apparently gezieltdafür developed to be infiltrated into systems unobserved.

    Cryptojacking is hugely popular

    How malware could get into plant of waterworks, experts of Radiflow are now examining toger with DemBetreiber. Industrial plants and critical infrastructure should be eigentlichnicht to public Internet. But in reality how often different. In current case, parts of plant were cut off, but apparently not all. During a security check, experts noticed that parts of system were repeated with external Servernkommunizierten.

    The injecting of malware, also called Cryptojacking or drive-by-mining, is currently immensely popular. These are software or browser scripts that hijack a part of DerProzessorleistung a computer to crypto in background. In October, a script from provider Coinhive was discovered on numerous websites, including on website of TV channel Showtime. Those who visited website unconsciously provided a portion of EigenenRechenleistung to providers of script.

    Coinhive sees itself as a legal offer fürWebsitebetreiber. They can also darüberinformieren ir visitors and get ir permission to dig in. However, many of Streamingdiensten, including many illegal dieSkripte, are used secretly. Users and users will notice anything if antivirus software starts or browser becomes noticeably slower due to StärkerenAuslastung. The developers of Coinhive regret misuse of ir technology in a recent interview with IT portal morboard. They would now have a bad reputation and will be blocked by or software, although many of ir users would use script in an absolutely transparent manner.
