Cryptojacking Definition
Cryptojacking is the unauthorized use of a person's or organization's computing resources to mine cryptocurrency.
Cryptojacking programs may be malware that is installed on a victim’s computer via phishing, infected websites, or other methods common to malware attacks, or they may be small pieces of code inserted into digital ads or web pages that only operate while the victim is visiting a particular website.
