Cryptojacking malware is malware that infects computers to use them to mine cryptocurrencies usually without users knowledge.[1][2][3]

Cryptojacking malware can lead to slowdowns and crashes due to straining of computational resources.[4]

Cybon anti-theft software is the first software designed and developed to deal with this cyber threat.[5]
