[jomz312]

Researchers from Chinese Cybersecurity company 360Netlab has discovered a new Android-based cryptocurrency mining malware that infects vulnerable Android devices to mine cryptocurrency, as reported in a blog post from the firm on Feb. 6.

As 360Netlab reports, the ADB.Miner worm scans can affect any kind of Android device, including smartphones, tablets, and television sets. The malware infects the device to mine Monero (XMR) coins and sends all acquired funds to a single wallet.

And television sets?

I assume smart TVs will not be the only commonly used smart devices in 5 to 10 years time. I reckon we will have smart refrigerators, ovens, toasters and other newly invented devices maintaining our homes that will be connected to the internet.

If the Monero mining malware starts invading those then I would presume XMR is the winner of IOT for the cryptospace hehehe.
