[What is cryptojacking?]

What is cryptojacking?

- Cryptojacking is defined as the secret use of your computing device to mine cryptocurrency.

- Cryptojacking is the unauthorized use of someone else’s computer to mine cryptocurrency. Hackers do this by either getting the victim to
  click on a malicious link in an email that loads crypto mining code on the computer, or by infecting a website or online ad with JavaScript
  code that auto-executes once loaded in the victim’s browser.

How cryptojacking works

-Hackers have two primary ways to get a victim’s computer to secretly mine cryptocurrencies. One is to trick victims into loading
 cryptomining code onto their computers. This is done through phishing-like tactics: Victims receive a legitimate-looking email that
 encourages them to click on a link. The link runs code that places the cryptomining script on the computer. The script then runs in the
 background as the victim works.

 The other method is to inject a script on a website or an ad that is delivered to multiple websites. Once victims visit the website or the    
 Infected ad pops up in their browsers, the script automatically executes. No code is stored on the victims’ computers. Whichever method is
 used, the code runs complex mathematical problems on the victims’ computers and sends the results to a server that the hacker controls.

  Hackers often will use both methods to maximize their return. “Attacks use old malware tricks to deliver more reliable and persistent
  software [to the victims’ computers] as a fall back,” says Vaystikh. For example, of 100 devices mining cryptocurrencies for a hacker, 10
  percent might be generating income from code on the victims’ machines, while 90 percent do so through their web browsers.

 Unlike most other types of malware, cryptojacking scripts do no damage to computers or victims’ data. They do steal CPU processing
 resources. For individual users, slower computer performance might be just an annoyance. Organization with many cryptojacked systems
 can incur real costs in terms of help desk and IT time spent tracking down performance issues and replacing components or systems in the
 hope of solving the problem.

How to detect cryptojacking

-Like ransomware, cryptojacking can affect your organization despite your best efforts to stop it. Detecting it can be difficult, especially if
 only a few systems are compromised. Don’t count on your existing endpoint protection tools to stop cryptojacking. “Crypto mining code
 can hide from signature-based detection tools,” says Laliberte. “Desktop antivirus tools won’t see them.” Here’s what will work:

 Train your help desk to look for signs of crypto mining. Sometimes the first indication is a spike in help desk complaints about slow
 computer performance, says SecBI’s Vaystikh. That should raise a red flag to investigate further.

 Other signals help desk should look for might be overheating systems, which could cause CPU or cooling fan failures, says Laliberte. “Heat
 [from excessive CPU usage] causes damage and can reduce the lifecycle of devices,” he says. This is especially true of thin mobile devices
 like tablets and smartphones.

 Deploy a network monitoring solution. Vaystikh believes cryptojacking is easier to detect in a corporate network than it is at home because
 most consumer end-point solutions do not detect it. Cryptojacking is easy to detect via network monitoring solutions, and most corporate
 organizations have network monitoring tools.

 However, few organizations with network motoring tools and data have the tools and capabilities to analyze that information for accurate
 detection. SecBI, for example, develops an artificial intelligence solution to analyze network data and detect cryptojacking and other
 specific threats.

 Laliberte agrees that network monitoring is your best bet to detect cryptomining activity. “Network perimeter monitoring that reviews all
 web traffic has a better chance of detecting cryptominers,” he says. Many monitoring solutions drill down that activity to individual users so
 you can identify which devices are affected.

How to prevent cryptojacking

-Incorporate the cryptojacking threat into your security awareness training, focusing on phishing-type attempts to load scripts onto users’
 computers. “Training will help protect you when technical solutions might fail,” says Laliberte. He believes phishing will continue to be the
 primary method to deliver malware of all types.

 Employee training won’t help with auto-executing cryptojacking from visiting legitimate websites. “Training is less effective for
 cryptojacking because you can’t tell users which websites not to go to,” says Vaystikh.

-Install an ad-blocking or anti-cryptomining extension on web browsers. Since cryptojacking scripts are often delivered through web ads,
 installing an ad blocker can be an effective means of stopping them. Some ad blockers like Ad Blocker Plus have some capability to detect
 crypto mining scripts. Laliberte recommends extensions like No Coin and MinerBlock, which are designed to detect and block cryptomining
 scripts.

 Keep your web filtering tools up to date. If you identify a web page that is delivering cryptojacking scripts, make sure your users are
 blocked from accessing it again.

 Maintain browser extensions. Some attackers are using malicious browser extensions or poisoning legitimate extensions to execute crypto
 mining scripts.

-Use a mobile device management (MDM) solution to better control what’s on users’ devices. Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies
 present a challenge to preventing illicit cryptomining. “MDM can go a long way to keep BYOD safer,” says Laliberte. An MDM solution can
 help manage apps and extensions on users’ devices. MDM solutions tend to be geared toward larger enterprises, and smaller companies
 often can’t afford them. However, Laliberte notes that mobile devices are not as at risk as desktop computers and servers. Because they
 tend to have less processing power, they are not as lucrative for the hackers.......... from different sources

if you like this post then send merit..       Thank you...

should we do multiple facebook bounty and i also heard that facebook bounty going to ban all crypto   can we do any multiple bounty like twitter,signature,reddit and many more for example i do facebook bounty for (abc) ico and i want to add another (xyz) ico bounty in facebook..

A group of Latin American Bitcoin businesses and entities has issued a joint letter expressing “deepest concerns” over SegWit2x.

The letter, signed by around 50 supporters from the Brazilian and Argentinian Bitcoin space, went live on Medium Wednesday.

The collective “opposition” to the forthcoming Bitcoin hard fork is the the latest to come from the industry, which has already seen exchanges and others signal public condemnation.

Last week, South Korea’s largest Bitcoin meetup released a similar open statement denouncing SegWit2x.

“We do believe the NYA signatories have the best of intentions in attempting to improve Bitcoin’s protocol, and we also recognize the invaluable service historically provided by the companies and the talented individuals associated with S2X,” the Brazilian-Argentinian letter reads.

Can we trade with the help of application for example i have an account in bittrex and i want trade with application. is it possible ??

how to find average or break even point ??


example

      i bought cann
