<p>&nbsp;Not often do I get a warm and fuzzy feeling about cybersecurity. &nbsp;In almost all cases the news is bad. &nbsp;This is a rare occasion. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cryptojacking-drops-by-78-percent-in-southeast-asia-after-interpol-action/">Interpol, Southeast Asia saw a 78% decrease in cryptojacking</a>! &nbsp;That is truly amazing!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cryptojacking often involves cybercriminals hacking business servers and consumers PC's to run cryptomining software that then rewards the attacker. &nbsp;The victim pays with systems resources, network bandwidth, and electricity and the criminal receives cryptocurrency over time.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this case Interpol has shut down some key infrastructure components that have undermined much of the cryptojacking in Southeast Asia.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The bad news is that often these actions don't last very long as cybercriminals tend to reorganize quickly and get their networks back up and running. &nbsp;To them, time is money so they respond with all haste. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>I will be keep an eye on this as I hope this interdiction has a lasting impact and we see a permanent reduction in unauthorized cryptocurrency mining and victimization. &nbsp;</p>

Sounds like anti-abuse on Steem. It’s a never ending game of whack-a-mole.

So true.  Attackers are a creative and highly motivated crowd.
