CBS’s Showtime caught secretly stealing visitors’ CPU power to mine cryptocurrency

I think that if anyone should use my computers cpu it should be me not Showtime. I may be old fashioned but that's how I feel it should be. I should not have anything going on on my computer that does not have my permission. I have to pay money to watch Showtime, It is not free. So they should not be able to mine for cryptocurrencies when I watch a feature. I never signed up to allow them to do so. And I do not like it done behind my back.

Stay Safe Always
