So below you are being given complete detail about Cryptojacking. This information is very beneficial for you. Because it has almost happened with you or it is happening with you, then what are you doing to avoid this. I will be explaining all things to you.

When you open any kind of website in your mobile phone or computer device. So on top of that, you see many different types of ads and the ads are placed by the owner of the website from which the owner of the website earns it but we think that the internet is a free service. But there is no such thing. 

In today's time, website owners earn by putting ads on the Internet. By the way, if you assume watch videos above YouTube. So along with videos, you also have to watch ads on YouTube. So that YouTube makes money and YouTube's earnings depend on you.

YouTube's revenue depends on full ad only. So, in the same way, the owner of the website also puts different types of ads on his website. Because he also has to earn. He is not sitting by opening any free service. So that anyone can go and do their work on his website and come back, so he too needs to earn some money. So he earns himself from the ad only.

What is Cryptojacking


In today's time, a new thing has emerged in these websites. Whose name is Cryptojacking.  As I told you above, you must have heard about hijacking, but for the first time, you are also hearing about Cryptojacking. Cryptojacking is something that hackers use and with the help of Cryptojacking, hackers  hack your computer or mobile device very easily and earn cryptocurrency very easily using your mobile device or computer.

And for this, hackers do not need to attack your mobile or computer. Nor does he hack your mobile in any other way. They do all this work with just one JavaScript and all work is done with JavaScript. And this JavaScript runs in the background of your mobile phone computer device. When you are browsing a website.

At that time, that hacker uses your computer and mobile power to earn your cryptocurrency for your benefit and you do not know this thing at all. It is earning cryptocurrency using your mobile and computer power through JavaScript and they get a lot of power to earn cryptocurrency from computer and they earn currency by sending it to a particular address. 

A few times before and behind the same, a cryptocurrency earning website has also been known.

The name of that company was Pirate Bay, you will all know about Pirate Bay which is Torrent which was used to download other things. When any user goes on the website, there is an invisible type of ad. When you continue to work on this website, the hackers will continue to earn at that time using the power of your computer device and in this way lots of money is sent to a particular address  and in this way many computers are networked and it becomes a huge network and this unleash a lot of power to earn.

If talking about bitcoin currency, it is absolutely impossible to earn bitcoins with simple CPU power. But apart from this, other currencies can be easily earned with simple CPU power. Like for example Monero and Hacker are earning this kind of currency.

How to know if your power is being used 

So now you must be wondering how you will be able to know that the power of your computer is being used to earn cryptocurrency. Let me tell you that there are two ways. 

The first way is this, that when you open any type of website so,  there is JavaScript in the background and the owner of the website does not even know about it that his website has JavaScript installed. But he does not know because his website is hacked and used by other hackers to put these things on the website.

And the other way is the software. Many times the software is downloaded to your device as well. Many such programs are designed by hackers in such a way that when you download any kind of software, these programs are downloaded to your device along with your software and then they start earning by using the power of your computer.
When your computer is hacked to earn cryptocurrency, your computer fan starts running very fast or your computer device starts working slowly and if you open a website like this from mobile, then your mobile becomes very hot. Many times you open such a website on your computer. As soon as you open only one page, you see a problem like heating in the computer or running the fan fast. If you go to the Computer Window Task Manager, then the CPU usage of your computer is increased immediately. So by these signs, you can easily guess that the power of your computer is being used to earn cryptocurrency.
