Japanese prosecutors from 10 prefectures have arrested 16 individuals suspected of involvement in an ongoing criminal case of cryptojacking, local news outlet The Asahi Shimbun reports June 15.
Cryptojacking is the practice of using unsuspecting users’ processing power in order to mine cryptocurrency for the attacker.
According to the report by Asahi Shimbun, the arrested individuals are suspected of installing malware on victims’ computers in order to mine cryptocurrency in an unauthorized manner.
The suspects were allegedly running their own websites to spread the crypto mining malware, including the Coinhive program, that mines Monero (XMR).
According to a recent report by network and enterprise security company Palo Alto Networks, about 5 percent of all Monero coins that are currently in circulation have been mined via cryptojacking.
