Keep your cryptocurrencies safe from crypto-jackers
Is there such a thing as a victimless crime? Cryptojacking is a form of malware that secretly infiltrates your system to steal computing resources for mining cryptocurrency. And it’s on the rise—up nearly 500% in 2018 alone, by some estimates.
Why is cryptojacking gaining traction among cybercriminals? And what are the hidden costs to your organization?
