Rave Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Seems like the miners are back, cpu usage skyrockets when visiting HWBOT forum - Powered by vBulletin, have confirmed it with both chrome and firefox, using ublock origin kills it. Edited November 14, 2017 by Infuriare Quote
Bones Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) You can also use a domain blocker, I've been using one and so far I haven't had any problems doing it. You'd have to specify what domains to block but it works. Coinhive is one I have blocked along with others, as long as I run it when here or elsewhere I don't see any unusual CPU useage spikes. You'd also need to stay on top of what domains are doing this and update your list accordingly. Sadly this is and will be an ongoing issue since the guys doing it are on top of things like platforms used with a forum, you can bet nowadays they have an answer to just about any format a forum like this one would use.
