RE: Ad Networks Could be Using Your Computer to Mine Cryptocurrencies Right Now
Monero's price jump has really ruined a lot of things. There were some serious WordPress hacks that got publicized last month where people were stealing a ridiculous amount of hash rate. The whole CoinHive thing and these sorts of injections REALLY bug me because I work on laptops most of the time and am not of fan of my battery life disappearing.
It's crazy. They don't even try to make it subtle it seems. I'd open my task manager and the CPU usage would be all over the place. It took me a good half day to find and get rid of it.
