Has your smartphone suddenly slowed down, warmed up and the battery drained down for no apparent reason? If so, it may have been hijacked to mine cryptocurrencies. This new type of cyberattack is called “cryptojacking” by security experts. "consists of entrapping an internet server, a personal computer or a smartphone to install malware to mine cryptocurrencies, The hackers have found a cheaper option: surreptitiously exploiting the processors in smartphones.

I thought that the google has been removed all of the apps that contain the crypto malware from the play store. This usually attacks those people have not yet checked the app and just try to install the random app.
But google is more strict to their agreement.

I strongly believe that this cryptojacking is very possible coz I have also noticed this before too and it's strange. It helped with my old Samsung phone. It suddenly start to get hotter than usual unnecessarily even though with light usage and the battery life reduced significantly. I guess some of this malwares are installed from many websites containing unwanted ads or so.

There are many malwares and viruses out there on the Internet with dangerous purpose of stealing one resources through pc or phone. This cryptojacking is now a new development in the hacking space and we should be very careful about it
