It seems that cryptojacking simply means the incognite use of your computer to mine cryptocurrencies. Meaning in laymen terms, that someone can hack into your computer, install mining software (for bitcoin for instance) and mine coins unbeknownst to you. You should however notice the increased monthly payment on the electricity bill, if such case would occur.

Ofcourse it is. Cryptojacking means someone else is using your computer to mine his/her coins. This can hamper your privacy and it is certainly not desired.Your power is being wasted too. Make sure you are keeping your pc safe from cryptojacking.

Cryptojacking is new to most of the people. It's better if you search on google about it and know its consequences whether it's good of bad.

it's basically a malware you get into your computer that is using your device to mine for the cryptocurrencies. You can prevent it by being careful what you download

it will not "kill" your computer. because the access that it has is limited through your browser and it can only use your hardware to some extent not to their full potential and never overclocked.
so in other words it is somewhat like you playing a heavy game that takes a lot out of your system. and if you close your browser it will simply stop.

Well, when someone else uses your computer to mine cryptocurrency, is known as cryptojacking. It's very vulnerable. You should be very careful.

Cryptojacking means the use of your computer in incognito mood to mine coin. It will use the power of your computer and graphical energy. And yes, it will slow down the performance of your system.

I can't give a shit less for cryptojacking than I am. Somebody is making money from me visiting their website. Isn't it how it works for years? I am paying more electricity bills now? Good, maybe that will let the site owner offer me a new free service.

It appears that crypto jacking essentially implies the incognito utilization of your PC to mine digital currencies. Importance in laymen terms, that somebody can hack into your PC, introduces mining programming and mining coins unbeknownst to you. You ought to anyway see the expanded regularly scheduled installment on the power charge, if such case would happen.

In short never install a software in your computer that will compromise your personal data specially when it comes to your digital assets. Knowledge in basic programming and network management can help protect yourself in such attempts and prevent breaching your prsonal data to hackers.
