You have been mining crypto without knowing it

Billions of video site visitors unwittingly mine cryptocurrency as they watch
Popular sites Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter allegedly force users to mine Monero cryptocurrency, report says

The mining program is loaded into the users’ browser when the video player is downloaded ready to stream the video. Victims are not notified and are unaware that their computer is working hard to generate Monero.

Each month almost one billion visitors to four popular video sites are being unwittingly forced to mine cryptocurrency, according to a report on the practice of so-called cryptojacking.

The video sites Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter are allegedly loading mining software on to visitors’ computers, making them generate tokens for the bitcoin-like cryptocurrency Monero, according to security firm Adguard.

“We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’ devices for cryptocurrency mining,” said Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard. “According to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992m visits monthly.”

Q&A
What is cryptojacking?

Hide
Cryptojacking is the use of a computer to mine cryptocurrency without the permission of machine's owner.

A program is loaded on to the unwitting user's machine, typically through the browser when they visit a site with a video or other interactive element, which begins to solve computational problems that generate rewards in the form of cryptocurrency – so called mining. The person, group or organisation that places the program or script on the user's machine then reaps the rewards without compensation for the user.

The user's computer slows down when being cryptojacked as the mining operation is computationally intensive, using electricity at an increased rate and often preventing the computer from operating normally.

The mining program is loaded into the users’ browser when the video player is downloaded ready to stream the video. Victims are not notified and are unaware that their computer is working hard to generate Monero. The only sign for most users would be that their computer is running slowly while playing the video.

Meshkov said: “The total monthly earnings from [this] cryptojacking, taking into account the current Monero rate, can reach $326,000. These are simply outrageous figures.”

The video sites also benefit from their video players being embedded in other sites, which can still load the mining program, therefore spreading their reach and potential money generation.

Monero is being mined in this fashion, rather than bitcoin, because it more readily lends itself to behind-the-scenes operation such as cryptojacking, explains Pieter Arntz, malware intelligence researcher at Malwarebytes. He said: “Monero mining does not depend on heavily specialised, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), but can be done with any CPU or GPU. Without ASICs, it is almost pointless for an ordinary computer to participate in the mining process for Bitcoin.”

Monero is also untraceable and faster to mine and confirm transactions, says Arntz, making it easier to get away with cryptojacking.

This isn’t the first time sites have been accused of using visitors’ computers to mine cryptocurrency. In September, the Pirate Bay ad US video streaming site Showtime were discovered to have performed cryptojacking, with the former declaring that it was just an experiment with a view to replacing adverts wholesale.

“The popularity of cryptojacking has grown with alarming speed,” said Meshkov. “At the moment, the only real solution is to use an ad blocker, an antivirus or one of the specialised extensions to combat cryptojacking.”

There are also discussions as to whether security protocols to block cryptojacking should be built directly into browsers including Chromium, the open-source browser that underpins Google’s Chrome browser.

Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter were unavailable for comment before publication.

Ads don’t work so websites are using your electricity to pay the bills

Popular Youtuber FOUSEYTUBE RENOUNCES ISLAM!

Karuo — Sun, 27 Dec 2015 12:15:24 +0800

Fouseytube Renounces Islam: Blames Religion for his Inner Turmoil

Fousey has been famous for not just pranks, but bipolar social media usage, living out spurts of entertaining fans and then at-a-stretch going missing. Fousey is in the middle of struggling with this once more, but this time, has revealed more about himself than ever before: not just discontent with his life, but the realization that his recurring depression and inner conflicts are based upon apprehension instilled within him since he was a young child, through his religion that he was “the right one” before he was old enough to question it.
Fousey has deleted all his tweets, but before his abandonment of the 140 character social media site, he posted a 10+ page Twitlonger detailing the demons he’s been fighting within himself.

In the Twitlonger post (pastebin copy Here) he references a struggle with depression, a book he intends to write about his life, an unknown addiction he doesn’t disclose, his wishes to deal with issues within his family as transparently as they do on TV and most controversially, his acknowledgement that this fight between his double life was the fault of Islam.

The Twitlonger post details Fousey’s mental battle with raw emotion including; irrational attempts to scrub off a taboo tattoo in the shower, the pain of removing it for real and the realization that his true self liked it to begin with.
He rants about suicidal thoughts, but his simultaneous fear of death. This shit is Straight Up Hamlet Yo!

Fousey closes with concluding the heart of the problem, he did have to “kill [himself]. Or a version of [himself]” the part that still hung on to his Islamic faith:
Fousey:
My depression. My addiction. My sadness. My obsession with wanting to die. My inability to love. Was ALL because of the little boy who never knew how to live his own life making his own decisions and his own mistakes because of fear instilled in him from judgement brought on by a loving mother and her belief in religion. Until I accepted that I could no longer live as two people I would NEVER be able to be happy. I had to kill myself. Or a version of myself. I had to accept who I was. I had to stop seeing my decisions as sins and mistakes and seeing them as my TRUTH. I had to let my mother and father know who I am and what my life is going to be like and NOT what they wanted it to be for me. I had to be free. I had to liberate myself. And suddenly, I was.
Fousey explains he questioned the faith since he was young:
I wasn’t taught 12 religions and told to pick one that best fit my ideals in life. I was told what religion I was, told what to believe, told how to feel, told what to say, how to pray and told many many things that I mustn’t do for they will cause me to live in hell fire in my after life. GEEEEEEZ. 6 years old!? And told that if I don’t follow the right path I’m going to go to hell?! What an up bringing.

Fans react to Fousey’s coming-out:
