It involves solving complex computational problems to generate blocks of verified transactions that get added to the blockchain. The first miner to successfully update the crypto ledger via this route receives crypto coins as a reward.

Since mining rigs consume heavy electricity besides their high cost and maintenance expenses, hackers use the cryptojacking method to mine cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">In a ransomware-type attack, the attacker has to announce their presence and demand ransom by communicating with the victim. But in cryptojacking, the entire attack relies on discretion and \u201cwithout the victim ever being aware of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">Some warning signs include the device slowing down, heating up, or the battery draining faster than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">Despite a sharp drop in bitcoin prices since January 2022, cryptojacking cases kept increasing, showing that such cases continue irrespective of price fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/explained\/everyday-explainers\/explained-what-is-cryptojacking-cyber-attacks-carried-out-by-crypto-miners-8055585\/\">IE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Cryptojacking?
