Opera Browser Announces Crypto Money Mining Protection for Smartphones

 The crypto-money mining virus, which is placed on websites, is increasingly becoming a serious problem for smartphones. The Opera web browser is looking for ways to put this threat ahead for its users.

In an announcement Monday by the company, Opera has already announced the crypto-currency virus protection in its desktop-based versions. Now they are planning to add the same features to smartphone scanners.

 This new feature will be available on Android and Opera Mini versions. According to an announcement, this feature will be part of the ad blocker inside the browser.The following point has been mentioned:

"The new anti-crypto money mining feature is also active with Opera Mini (iOS and Android) and the version for the Android version of Opera when you turn on the ad blocking feature. You can enter the "settings" tab to open the ad blocker, which will allow the program to automatically detect and stop the mining commands stored in the internet's code. "

Opera estimates that more than one billion devices worldwide have been slowed down by web-based mining viruses, unaware that users are smuggling their own browsers from their browsers. Looking at websites from another angle, the company believes that more than 3 million websites today have crypto-money mining viruses.

According to a company statement, it is very difficult to convince users that this is a problem because there is no visual indication of this mining virus.

Crypto money miners can over-load their smartphones' processors by overloading them with this virus, which can cause the phone to overheat.

And these damage caused a trojan smartphone to heat up so much that it sometimes became permanent according to a news article that caused the phone battery to swell and permanently damage the phone. Many ads appeared to be one of the reasons for the phone's warming up, but the main reason was that the smartphone processor was used to do the Monero mining.

According to the article, the trojan was so influential that it became completely unusable within 48 hours.
