The popularity of cryptocurrencies and blockchain of technologies brings with themselves not only progress, but also new schemes of fraud. In the fall of 2017 the kriptodzheking began to gain steam.
It is the scheme which was originally created as an alternative way of earnings for Internet resources, allowing to reduce or to get rid absolutely of advertizing. JavaScript a component which is engaged in a mining is built in a code of the web page. The computer of each user visiting this page all the time of visit maynit any cryptocurrency for owners of the website, as a rule it is Monero. And though time and resources of one such session are small for notable earnings, the total computing power of all users allows to earn real money. And users can not notice what occurs. In the theory it had to be a prize for all: users don't see advertizing, owners of the website earn. In practice of it it hasn't turned out.
The Kriptodzheking has quickly extended in network. His embedding has begun everywhere where it was only possible. Operation of the equipment of users who weren't aware of it has begun. Antiviruses began to block such code. And opportunities of honest use became less.
For a similar mining it isn't required to download anything, the kriptodzheking begins to work instantly and does it effectively. In time increase in prices for cryptocurrencies grows also quantity of the websites trying to earn from it. And many of them hide traffic from a mining among another, without letting know what occurs. And the most unpleasant and even dangerous in is that often they use all power of the processor, forcing him to work at a limit. And if in a case with the home computer it leads only to the increased account for electricity, then for mobile devices it can be fatal. Because it leads to overheating and further to breakage of the device.
But developers of all popular browsers work on this problem. And or try to make so that any similar mechanisms were blocked at once or that they couldn't be started without the permission of the user. Because not all similar mayner are used in roguish schemes.
To save itself from the increased accounts for electricity, loss of productivity and wear of the processor, it is necessary to conform to two simple rules:
• To establish all new updates which come out for an operating system;
• To use a good antivirus.
In most cases it will be enough. But for those who haven't enough of it can establish the addition for the browser blocking JavaScript mayner. It can be as specially made for this purpose, and ordinary blockers of advertizing. Most of them possesses such function. Still it is possible to recommend to watch temperature of the processor and video card. For this purpose there are various programs, usually they are issued producers of the equipment.
