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?

This is not new there is a lot of websites and games using this kind of trick stealing your computing power and use it to mine while you are playing their games. i'd become admin of a private server games and some script are attach to login page of the game then if the game starts then the mining will start too. so that is why some of game has a big specification requirements.
