"UK-based cybersecurity start-up Darktrace detected a 78 per cent growth in the frequency of under-radar crypto-jacking threats and a total of 1,313 crypto-mining incidents across the world. Moreover, it observed a rise in crypto-mining attacks in the Asia-Pacific region – particularly in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia, where cryptocurrency mining malware encounters were 17 percent more than the global average. We already mentioned in our IoT security blogs that Cryptojacking is going to be one of the biggest threats as smart devices have lesser to no security especially in smartphones, laptops and tablets. Hence, enslaving these devices is not that difficult for a hacker. Moreover, the attackers focus on cryptocurrency wallets rather than the whole system. To secure these devices, hardware security is the minimum criteria and then an AI prediction model can act as advanced." – Satyajit Sinha
