This is funny, just goes to show that you can be more effective taking advantage of people's stupidity in a patient and stealthy way. Kinda off-topic, but does it bug anyone else when a supposedly security-related site doesn't have HTTPS? It just seems kinda ironic.

probably mining Monero without knowing [i hope]

I believe it makes system performance sluggish, so people might have known something was up, but apart from that I don't think there were any other major indicators.
