Cryptojacking Tendency:
The cryptocurrency flow also affects cybersecurity in other ways. Cryptojacking is a trend
that involves cybercriminals to hijack third-party home or work computers. They hack the
currency to "mine" for cryptocurrency. Because mining for a cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin,
for example) needs immense amounts of computer processing ability, hackers can make
money by privately piggybacking on someone else's systems. For businesses,
cryptojacked systems can create serious production issues, and costly downtime as IT
works to track down and fix the issue.
