Overview:
At SafeTalpa we're building a defense against cryptojacking, which is when computers are hijacked to mine cryptocurrency without the user's consent.
Over 33,000 sites worldwide have been reported to contain cryptojacking scripts, and the number is growing since it's proven to be a better illegal business model than ransomware. When a user visits a site containing a cryptojacking script, the script will hijack the user's CPU to mine cryptocurrency. This consumes a lot of CPU power and makes computers slow. This is a huge problem for companies because cryptojackers tend to act as a worm, meaning that if one machine in a Wi-Fi network gets infected, the rest of the computers will be as well eventually. This makes companies spend money in IT support, equipment change and in electricians, when all they needed was our solution.
Anti-viruses don't detect most cryptojacking scripts because they just detect a higher CPU usage thanks to the browser, same for firewalls. Free open-source solutions exist which are based on blacklisting known sites, but what if a malicious site isn't listed yet? With machine learning, we're solving this problem.
