Cryptojacking Becomes a Silent Cyber Threat

Cryptojacking, the unauthorized use of computer resources to mine cryptocurrency, has skyrocketed in 2018. 

Hackers are embedding mining scripts into websites, mobile apps, and even cloud services, silently hijacking CPUs to generate digital currency.

Unlike traditional cyberattacks, cryptojacking doesn’t steal data, it drains computing power, slowing down devices and increasing electricity costs. 

Major companies like Tesla and government websites have fallen victim to cryptojacking attacks.

Cybersecurity firms are urging businesses and individuals to update their software, use ad blockers, and monitor CPU usage for unusual spikes. 

As cryptocurrency prices fluctuate, cryptojacking is expected to evolve as a persistent cyber threat.
