Have you ever stumbled upon these annoying ads that want you to install Flash Player (along with their malicious software)? The popularity of what was once an omnipresent Web plugin has dwindled, but its legacy lives on with new fake installers that will also mine crypto without you knowing about it.
In all fairness, they will actually install Flash on your device while an open-source miner XMRig comes as an extra bonus. This software will stealthily use your computer resources in order to mine Monero. Due to the complete anonymity of this digital currency, it is impossible to trace who received the generated funds.
As U.Today reported earlier, cryptojackers were also spreading mining malware with the help of a Steam game.
