Cryptocurrancy hackers take over water utility

Multiple crypto jacking attacks have been reported in recent weeks..

Malware on the utility's server was mining Monero cryptocurrency and it as there for three weeks before anyone noticed. .

The cryptocurrency mining malware was likely downloaded from a malicious advertising site by an operator at the water utility who opened a web browser and clicked on an advertising link that led the mining code being installed on the system.

So, its "crypto-jacking" now. Its possible that one's PC is already "mining". Merely click on the wrong link -- and, one is unknowingly mining.

Also, at first glance, the Bitcoin bubble seems to have burst (on schedule). However, that only means that investors got burned. The cleverest miners got rich selling to investors at bubble-prices.
