Rather than inject compromised systems with annoying viruses or malware that steals login credentials, some hackers are now covertly installing crypto-mining software on targets. This type of malware utilizes a system’s processing power and resources (like electricity) to mine for crypto on the victim's dime. Other types of crypto malware look for and steal cryptocurrency wallets on infected systems.
