Crypto mining is the process of verifying transactions on a blockchain. It’s what allows some cryptocurrencies to function without the need for a central authority like a bank. Miners are rewarded with new coins for their efforts.
Getting cryptomining malware onto a computer can be easy, and it’s becoming increasingly prevalent. Some examples include the Powerghost, Graboid and Badshell worms that use fileless techniques to hide in Windows processes.
