Does your cell phone battery run too fast or overheat? I can be hacking

His cell phone is not hurt, they hack him. Many of us have battery problems, whether they run out too fast or they overheat. Why is it happening? Well, he is likely to be a victim of cryptojacking.

Cryptojacking is the hijacking of the device (be it a smartphone, a tablet or a computer) to extract coins. Cecilia Pastorino, computer security specialist at Eset, says more about it.

In Latin America, the greatest number of cryptojacking detections are in Peru. These minors affect web pages and make them vulnerable. "What the attacker does is modify the source code of the site, hide the minor cryptocurrency, so it's very important to check the websites and fix them."

How can I tell if my computer has been damaged? Pastorino commented that cryptojacking affects the use of the device's user resources. In case it is a computer, a laptop or a tablet, the hardware is slow, it is locked without any explanation. While in the case of a mobile phone or smartphone, the battery runs out quickly or the equipment overheats.

"Many of us think that this is due to the failure of the same cell phone, but in most cases, it is because they are extracting parts., As a. user, it is very important to have a security tool such as an antivirus that protects against these threats. "

He also stated that we can all be victims or targets of any attack, from As much as today, many attacks are not directed but constitute malicious codes. who go around the network waiting for someone to fall or, in the case of cryptocurrencies, that does not matter to the attacker who manages the equipment but the team itself. "The greater the amount of equipment, the more money the attacker will have." It's not a threat that only targets people in positions important information or having relevant information. " The first is to have a security solution, this is the first obstacle to be safe from all types of malware nearby. Having everything updated, it means that there is no vulnerability in the equipment. And finally, know what are the deceptions that circulate. Then being informed helps to avoid being a victim.
