Cryptojacking Emerges as a Major Threat to UK Businesses in 2018

Report: Cryptojacking website visits to mine Monero and other digital currencies will emerge as a prominent threat over the course of 2018. At least 600 websites in the U.K. (and more than 4,000 worldwide) secretly used a screen plugin for visually impaired computer users to mine cryptocurrency.
