It was recently revealed that hackers have found yet another way to mine cryptocurrencies. Reportedly, they are employing fake Adobe Flash updates to install cryptocurrency mining malware on networks and user’s computers. This results in severe losses, a significant drop in system performance and increased electricity bills for the affected users.

While Adobe Flash has long been a popular method for pushing malware onto computers. It used to be easy to identify. Hackers have since come up with innovations that allow them to silently download cryptocurrency miners on Windows computers.

You are copying sections of article word-to-word without adding anything from your side.

The reference you have included is not the actual link to the article but just to the website. This is the complete link: https://coindelite.com/news/hackers-exploiting-flash-updates-for-cryptojacking/

Please be aware that this kind of behavior, particularly plagiarism of any kind will get you a permaban from the forum. I sincerely suggest that you either add something of your own and quote the actual article. This is viewed upon very seriously.
