"Researchers at IBM have found a more sophisticated class of surreptitious mining software that penetrates your system. These are delivered through infected image files or by clicking on links leading to a malicious site. Such attacks tend to target enterprise networks, IBM found, so get in touch with your IT person for help.
If your system is infected, you should detect a degradation in performance, in which case fire up Activity Monitor or Task Manager to check your CPU usage. You can then identify the process that?s eating up all those compute cycles and terminate it from your resource monitor, says Dave McMillen of IBM Managed Security Services, who authored the research on secret crypto miners." |
