Cryptojacking Has Surged, With 332.3 Million Attacks Recorded in the First Half of 2023

Traditional ransomware attacks are declining, but cryptojacking attacks are on the rise, with a staggering 332.3 million recorded in the first half of 2023. Cryptojacking involves using other people's devices to mine digital assets, with Monero being the most popular. Victims may not even realize they are being targeted, experiencing slower devices, higher electricity bills, and overheated batteries. Market downturns have actually increased the number of attacks, as criminals seek to make profits.
