Mediaget Stops Hacker Attack - Cryptics

On March 7, hackers engaged in cryptocurrency mining, attacked one of the largest torrent-applications for downloading movies (the second in the world after BitTorrent), well known, including in Russia as Mediaget.com. Criminals managed to hack the server through which the torrent update is carried out and the "secret miner" was installed on the computers of Mediaget customers, which began to actively absorb the resources of users' electronic devices. According to Microsoft, who managed to stop the invasion in time, if not for the qualified actions of their employees, the number of victims around the world would have been estimated in the millions. The calculation of criminals was simple and was based on the desire to obtain basic physical resources to expand the scale of their own business. In this regard, it should be noted that the production of any electronic currency requires two main components - computer hardware with powerful graphics cards and, as a result, a large amount of electricity.
