#Cryptojacking

[cryptoreach]

Cryptojacking is a stealthy cybercrime where hackers hijack your device’s computing power to mine cryptocurrency without your consent. It slows down your system, drains your battery, causes overheating, and can lead to costly electricity or cloud service bills. Attackers use methods like infected downloads, malicious email links, or even by injecting mining scripts into websites and ads.

There are different types of cryptojacking: file-based (via software or attachments), cloud-based (targeting services like AWS), and browser-based (activated just by visiting a site). Detecting it involves noticing system slowdowns, high CPU usage, battery drain, or spikes in cloud/server costs.

To protect yourself, use trusted antivirus tools, install mining-blocker browser extensions, keep your software updated, and be cautious with downloads and emails. Businesses should secure their cloud infrastructure and monitor for unusual usage.

Real incidents like YouTube ad cryptojacking and Coinhive’s misuse prove it’s a real threat. But with the right steps, you can stay ahead of these silent attacks.

Stay safe — protect your devices now. 👉 Read more in the blog to dive deeper into detection techniques, prevention tools, and real-world case studies.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has recently faced a significant downturn, trading around $56,697.32. Despite this bearish phase, there are signs of a potential rebound. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 28.41, indicating oversold conditions typically seen as buying opportunities. Candlestick patterns with long lower shadows suggest buying pressure at lower levels, hinting at a price reversal.

Influential analyst CryptoJack is optimistic, predicting Bitcoin will surpass $100,000 despite the current downturn. He believes Bitcoin is near its bottom, aligning with technical indicators suggesting an oversold market.

Market data from CoinMarketCap shows Bitcoin’s market cap at $1.12 trillion, a 2.63% increase in one day, while the 24-hour trading volume has decreased by 38.03% to $31.91 billion, indicating consolidation. Traders are cautious, but the oversold RSI and bullish patterns support the possibility of a rebound. Watching for signs of reversal could signal the start of a recovery phase.

thank you so much for the resources!! I just tried out darkino and went to download a movie but my virus protection blocked it for trying to download a software to my computer for cryptojacking... just wanted to let you know!!

Hi lovely! Darkino doesn't host any downloads/you should'nt be downloading anything from there. It redirects to Uptobox links.

Please make sure you have a good adblock on your browser and only click the links that redirect you to the downloads not anything else!

when the next page opens scroll down till you see this and click it. Do not click anything else. This is the site you NEED adblock for.

Once you click it it'll "refresh" scroll down again and you'll see the links. Click whichever work in your country

it'll bring you to uptobox

Wait the minute and press free download. then it'll refresh and it'll say click here to start your download. click it.

Your mkv/mp4/whatever you picked will start downloading!

You do have to wait I think 3-4 hours in between downloading but if you have a vpn you can just switch it whenever you want.

I also don't mind sending people the direct uptobox links if they just link me the darkino page they want in DM's or Off Anon Inbox messages.

here's an example of what it should look like on a vanilla windows 10 installation with little to nothing installed:

now, here's the same installation but I ran a popular cryptojacking payload which uses this method to achieve persistence:

a lot of sillyware will use offical-looking names when installing it's payload to make you second guess. this isn't a catch-all however, and is just one of many many method's malware use to achieve persistence. some also use SCHTASK to schedule hourly tasks to run which ensures it's payload is always running
