Hrmm at this point I cannot remember the title but I remember it said tpruvot 1.7 or so.  Obviously a scam since when after the fact I went to the github and saw tpruvot wasn't even on 1.7 - lol - hind sight is always 20/20.

Any chance you mined Oxen?

Some people confused ccminer having malicious code instead of Oxen which was malicious.



cryptomining blog really? that site is huge for mining, how they can not check for malicious code, are they stupid? what was the miner with the virus?

Apparently people can hide their malicious stuff with FUD crypters so the virus can't be detected and can be triggered anytime, even like months later.

it's not about antivirus, it's about code checking, no virus can be hidden if you have the source and you know what you're doing

That's the theory, but how many people actually inspect the code before they compile it? Most assume "someone" has
already inspected it. Heartbleed was open source and was built into many different OSs for 2 years beofore it was
discovered. MS and Red Hat and Ubuntu and... must have inspected openssl before using it in their product, didn't they?
