💵 More than 3500 websites have been infected with a sophisticated Monero miner.

🏖 The classic Coinhive died back in 2019, but the method has returned in a much more hidden form.

🖱 The hacker script evaluates the computer's power and limits the load to only 10-15% to remain unnoticed. The script stops if DevTools are open and reduces the hash rate at the first sign of overheating.

Primarily, WordPress and e-commerce CMS websites have been affected. With moderate traffic, hackers can siphon off tens of thousands of dollars from users each month, which is decent, but far from the Coinhive records (which earned around $250k a month). 😐
