Post by: Lucius on September 14, 2017, 10:00:15 AM
According to the Kaspersky Lab only in first eight months of 2017 over 1.65 million computers get attacked by crypto mining malware-and that is only data from computers running some of Kaspersky security software.Actually it is malware that infect your PC and turn it in a bot PC which is then become part of a large botnets.

If we consider that this is only data from Kaspersky and that is true,than this number is much bigger then 1.65 million infected PC around the world and it will go up in future.

Internet can be very dangerous place and many users do not care too much to online protection so we have too many infected PC out there.Do you had experiences with this type of malware and do you protect your PC to not become a victim one day?
