Mining consumes 100% of the computer processor

Cryptocurrency boom has led dozens of people who know little of the universe of the new economy to want gain money easily. The risks are not few; hence, network security experts alert about the main dangers through conferences, seminars and blogs.

One of the most common risk is the fact that thousands of public sites get profit while the person is mining, of course without their approval. It is an intrusion to obtain funds that they achieve through malware, WiFi hacking and banners or advertising that is deployed while browsing.

How to get protected

One of the main recommendations is not to use the personal processor for mining, since it consumes practically 100% of it. Obviously, everyone wants to obtain additional income and the universe of cryptocurrencies makes it look innocuous. But it’s not the case; in fact, the risks of this activity are similar to clicking on messages from strangers when consulting mail or social networks.

Secondly, experts recommend not to check pages that do not display immediately a message such as: do you agree to navigate this page and contribute to its maintenance? This would be ideal and, although it is not illegal, it is considered dishonest.

The consequences of mining through the personal processor include its slowdown and an increase in energy consumption. Therefore, experts in cybersecurity suggest to look for authorized exchange houses and find out about the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies. Also, ask for certified information about the strongest cryptocurrencies to invest in the local market.
