I really like this kind of topic that tackles about modern technology.

As you can see in my past thread about the cryptojacking happened in the popular online gaming client, Garena. Your statement about Android phones, I agree to that, It's the most vulnerable operating system when it comes to smart phones. Android has different mods and can edit the script of it's own program unlike in apple that has a maximum security, In short, not a user-friendly.

Garena PH have a local server where we can play League of Legends within the nation only. Consequently, the recent attack of cryptojacking using coinhive that has been injected in the system and client of LoL was an awareness from all of us (PC users).

Applications na patagong ginagamit ang iyong PC for bitcoin mining

Ito ay old news na last 2 weeks ago at yung iba dito ay familiar sa larong League of Legends na ginawa ng riot, isang Gaming Company. Meron tayong sariling server ng League of legends na hawak ng Garena. Ginawa ko 'tong thread na 'to para maging aware pa tayo sa iba pang malicious content/programs na maaring ginagamit lang ang ating devices para sila ang kumita ng income. Ang category sa case na ito ay pwede ding maipasok sa Scam since ikaw ang pinaggagamitan while iba yung kumikita ng income.

Ano ba ang Garena?
Ang Garena ay isa sa mga industry na gumagawa ng sariling server natin dito sa Pilipinas or sa ibang pang South East Asia countries para malaro natin ang iba't ibang online games from different servers.

Itong ang real issue, madami kasing nakatuklas sa League of Legends na nag-coconsume ng massive amount ng RAM sa computers which is nakakapagtaka dahil mas pinapasimple na nga ng Riot ang graphics at para maging playable na ang Online game kahit hindi high-end PC ang gamit ka.

So what is the cause?

Therefore, Garena PH has a low security system and the recent attack can be follow up again by another modern inject tool to force all the client users to mining. There are no differences between Garena PH, a local server of South east asia and Android because they're both vulnerable from massive attack since they're open from other softwares, inject tools and, malwares(virus).
