A long time ago, many famous\u00a0torrent\u00a0sites came across bitcoins to do more donations. As long as there is no criminal issue with donating with bitcoins, it might sometimes\u00a0be offensive in another way. Plugin in a Javascript cryptocurrency miner to a website can be a sign of criminality. Early this morning, a lot of Piratebay users realized that their CPU usage increased dramatically when they checked some Piratebay pages.<\/p>\n<p>After doing some technical inspection, people found that there was\u00a0Bitcoin miner embedded on the site. Many people have said that the miner increased CPU usage quite a bit. It comes at a different rate where people have seen both (0.6 and 0.8) the increase in resources is immediately noticeable. Besides that, many users have complained about the\u00a0official comment from the site operators on the issue.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/the-pirate-bay-caught-running-cryptocurrency-mining-script-e1505724812182.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/the-pirate-bay-caught-running-cryptocurrency-mining-script-e1505724812182.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"451\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57666 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>For now, there are some good ways for you to stop this activity. You can just\u00a0block or disable Javascript, and that can stop the automatic mining. If you want to do this, you can just execute it via your browser settings or through script blocker add-ons such as NoScript and ScriptBlock. \u00a0For another way of blocking the automatic mining, you may want to block the miner URL with any ad-blocker that you think is trustable.<\/p>\n<h3>Piratebay website is using Bitcoins to mine Monero<\/h3>\n<p>Do not forget to follow the recommendation in the third paragraph. We are also aware that the miner has done a successful trial of 24 hours to generate more revenue. &#8220;This could eventually replace the ads on the site.
