It’s almost as if cryptomining were designed to break graphics cards – miners usually run their graphics cards for 24 hours, and the process creates a lot of heat.

Demin warned that more companies could face malicious software capable of cryptomining. Of late, a number of businesses were caught running cryptomining code on their websites to secretly generate digital currencies as an alternative to online advertising.

One currency that is actively mined through cryptomining malware is Monero.
