is using the Internet and Internet usage is increasing day by day. So, due to
the Internet, some people are also earning and some people use the Internet for
their work. So many times when
you are using the internet in your mobile device or computer, then the fan of your
computer runs fast at that time.
Or your mobile or computer starts heating up
too much. So, Did you ever pay attention to it? Ever wondered why it is hot and
you might not have thought of it and if you thought you would have thought that
either your internet is slow or there is something wrong with your mobile or
computer device. That is why your mobile or computer device runs slowly or it is
hot.
But
let me tell you that your mobile and computer devices are not the only reason
for the heat to be slow or there is some problem with it. The reason for their
heating is Cryptojacking. But now you must be thinking this. That's what
Cryptojacking is. You must have heard about hijacking but what is
Cryptojacking. You probably don't know what I mean by Cryptojacking in this
post today. What should we do to survive this and if our mobile or computer
device is a victim of Cryptojacking.
So what problem

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.
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.
