Love is like a garden! Neglected and rotten growth creeps, well-developed and flourishes in abundance. Do not always get love. Love must work together daily!
Cryptocurrency mining malware that infected over a million computers in China reportedly earned its creators more than $2 million over two years.
According to a local news report on Monday, police in China’s Da Lian city have arrested 20 suspects from a computer technology firm who allegedly gained control of the large number of computers in order profit from illicit cryptocurrency mining.
The hackers created and embedded the malware inside internet browser plug-ins they developed for various purposes, such as enhanced browsing speed, which were shown in display ads that reached 5 million computers in the country.
By clicking the display ads and installing the plug-ins, over a million computers were subsequently infected, mining a total of 26 million digibyte, decred and siacoin tokens over the course of two years, according to the police.
The report also indicated the hackers developed a network of more than 100 agents to help propagate the illicit mining software, such as through working relationships with internet cafes.
