Cryptojacking & Coinhive: The Risks Are Real
ABSTRACT
Less than a year ago, Coinhive changed the history of cryptomining. In September 2017, Coinhive launched a service that enabled the mining of the Monero digital currency—directly within a web browser.
The Coinhive API offers access for website owners to deploy a miner on their site, have it communicate with the Coinhive remote server, and allow the miners to run on user systems, without user permission. This capability creates a vast attack surface for threat actors to exploit to their advantage.
