Hy all friensdter Steemian..,long to find passwood Steemit is not it? then, pay attention on your Steemit account, because lately a lot of cryptocurrency miners are cheating to mine their ad scripts into certain columns to get free mining.
As we know that the weeks a number of users of the You-Tubers started complaining about their performance system as the malicious treatment was found to infect certain accounts to achieve DoubleClikck in their ads.
Reported from Kompas.com site, Last week, a number of YouTube users complained about antivirus on his computer always detects script miner cryptocurrency, Coinhive, every time they visit the video sharing service site. This still happens even if changing the browser to access YouTube.
Later, through the investigation of the cyber-security firm Trend Micro, it is known that Coinhive is indeed inserted by hackers into Google's advertising network, including in ad serving on YouTube.
"The attackers are targeting DoubleClick Google that develops and provides internet advertising services, for traffic distribution," Trend Micro wrote in the report, adding that the malicious script was found to infect Google ads in Japan, France, Taiwan, Italy and Spain.
Through a revelation, Google admitted that its ad network was infiltrated by cyptocurrency miners by hackers. However, it is mentioned that the problem has been solved.
Once successfully infiltrated the victim's computer, the cyrptocurrency miner script will start the mining activity by utilizing the computer's processing power.
In the case of Google ad networks, the embedded cyrptocurrency miner is Coinhive in the form of JavaScript. When active, this script drains about 80 percent of the victim's computer CPU resources, resulting in system performance down dramatically.
Independent security researcher, Troy Mursch said that YouTube may be targeted because users often open the site for a long time, so that the computer resources can be sucked in a long time as well.
"This is a prime target for cryptojacking malware, because the longer the perpetrator mines cryptocurrency, the more money it generates," Mursch said.
So in order to maintain the security of Steemit Platform in order to avoid cheating I suggest to pay attention to the commentary columns and wallet you from the attack.
It is not impossible every second perpetrators of cyber media always detects sites that have the opportunity to hack them.
