(St. Poelten University of Applied Sciences) It is a phenomenon known to almost all of us: you browse the web and suddenly your computer slows down and runs loudly. This could be due to so-called crypto mining, meaning the access to computer power to generate cryptocurrencies without the knowledge of the user. In response, the St. Pölten UAS has developed the open source software 'CoinEater' which blocks unwanted access and is available as an add-on to Firefox and Chrome.
