Cryptojacking Continues: Prominent Portuguese Publication
Caught Mining Crypto With User's CPUs
BY: FRANCISCO MEMORIA / ON: JANUARY 9, 2018 / IN: CRYPTOCURRENCIES, MINING, NEWS
Another day, another prominent website caught mining Monero with user's CPU
resources. This time, it was prominent Portuguese financial publication,
Dinheiro Vivo, getting caught, as a ticker showing a benchmark stock market
index, PSI-20, had the mining code in it. Ever since The Pirate Bay's Monero
mining experiment, the so-called Cryptojacking trend has been growing.
According to reports, Dinheiro Vivo was mining Monero (XMR) with user's CPU
resources, and it isn't clear who put the mining code there. The code was found
by Reddit users who noticed their computers started slowing down when they

were visiting the website. One user even recorded the impact the website had
on his machine:
Controversy ensued, given Dinheiro Vivo is a supplement to some of the
country's most prominent news outlets. In response, the website revealed it has
been hacked, and that it removed the code from its website by disabling the PSI-
20 ticker.
It further assured its users they weren't at risk, and that it is currently
investigating the case. Its statement reads:
"Dinheiro Vivo refutes this type of computer hacking and assures
readers that there is no risk to users. More: as a precaution, this
area of the site has been deactivated, so the topic has already
been duly cleared. The case's investigation proceeds."
Ongoing Cryptojacking trend
The ongoing Cryptojacking trend, as stated above, started after The Pirate Bay
tested Monero mining code on its website, as a potential revenue source. The
torrent index website's goal was to use people's computers to mine
cryptocurrency and remove ads from its website.

Recently, a Google Chrome extension with 105,000 users was also caught mining
Monero using people's CPU resources. To stop the trend, Cloudflare started
banning websites that don't warn users about CPU usage, while Opera browser
added a built-in anti-Cryptojacking tool.
At press time, Monero is currently trading at $376.3, and is down 5.5% in the last
24-hour period. The cryptocurrency recently hit an all-time high of $467.5 before
its price corrected, according to data from Cryptocompare.
