Do you ever feel the Internet is especially slow these days? Or have you ever wondered if maybe it’s just your computer that’s getting slower and your battery consuming lot of charging , and mobile getting warm when your visiting some unknown website ? Don’t rush to the shop to buy a new computer and mobile phone yet … you may have been a victim of a new trick used by malevolent hackers called browser “cryptojacking.”
before getting into cryptojacking first we should understand what is bitcoin and what is minnig
Bitcoin is a new currency that was created in 2009 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are made with no middle men – meaning, no banks! There are no transaction fees and no need to give your real name. More merchants are beginning to accept them: You can buy webhosting services, pizza or even manicures.
and what is bitcoin mining:is a peer-to-peer computer process used to secure and verify bitcoin transactions—payments from one user to another on a decentralized network. Mining involves adding bitcoin transaction data to Bitcoin’s global public ledger of past transactions. Each group of transactions is called a block. Blocks are secured by Bitcoin miners and build on top of each other forming a chain. This ledger of past transactions is called the blockchain. The blockchain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. Bitcoin nodes use the blockchain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere.Every ten minutes or so mining computers collect a few hundred pending bitcointransactions (a “block”) and turn them into a mathematical puzzle. … The miner who found the solution gets 25 bitcoins as a reward, but only after another 99 blocks have been added to the ledger.
