Tencent Computer Manager Senior Security Expert: Mining shortens the cybercrime industry chain and lowers the threshold

According to China Economic Weekly, Li Tiejun, a senior security expert at Tencent Computer Manager, said that blockchain has now become a new outlet for online black industries. Mining viruses are growing very fast, and ransomware viruses also demand Bitcoin. It can be said that most of the current black industry crimes are related to blockchain, which is also an important feature of the current online black industry.

Li Tiejun said that mining has shortened the industrial chain of online black industries and lowered the threshold. Originally, individual hackers were just people with technical capabilities. They may not have channels to increase traffic and monetize, and they dare not attack DDoS, but now they can mine.
