After reading about the Pirate Bay hijacking web miners (
https://gizmodo.com/the-pirate-bay-added-a-cpu-hijacking-bitcoin-miner-to-s-1818488143
) I wondered if anyone had created a list of such sites. How would you even detect that the site is stealing compute power from your device?
It can easily be detected if your CPU/GPU usage is using its full computing power even if the task you're doing is not supposed to be using all of that
