In the days of hacking and mining without the knowledge of users, there has been a new hacking incident. According to a local news source, police forces in Da Lian, China, have arrested 20 suspects who have developed malicious software to make illegal crypto money mining and that made 1 million computers for about 2 million dollars worth of crypto money mining for 2 years .

1 million computers = $ 2 million profit

Hackers have produced browser add-ons that serve a variety of purposes, and after they've added malware into them, they've posted ads to reach about 5 million computers in the country. As a result, this software can be downloaded by 1 million computers, making profits in serious numbers.

Over a million users who clicked on the ad and clicked on the add-on made a crypto-currency mining of millions of dollars.

A total of 26 million digibytes, decred and siacon mining have been made. According to the police report, the reason for hackers to make crypto money mining, which has a lower reserve and market volume, is said to be that the aforementioned crypto currencies require much lower processing power and that the user does not realize that they are mining through the computer.

There is also team work

In addition, cyber criminals agreed with 100 people to spread illegal mining software and set up a kind of distribution network, and managed the work well.

This development has come a little more than a month earlier than recently, when Internet cafes were infected with more than 100,000 computers, a malicious software designed to do siacon mining, which is a sign of how much malware has increased for mining incidents.
