It was recently revealed that hackers have found yet another way to mine cryptocurrencies. Reportedly, they are employing fake Adobe Flash updates to install cryptocurrency mining malware on networks and user’s computers. This results in severe losses, a significant drop in system performance and increased electricity bills for the affected users.

While Adobe Flash has long been a popular method for pushing malware onto computers. It used to be easy to identify. Hackers have since come up with innovations that allow them to silently download cryptocurrency miners on Windows computers.
