“The New Jersey attorney general’s office announced Tuesday that it reached a million dollar settlement with the Commack, NY-based company for infecting 14,000 computers with its Bitcoin Trojan. The program was also designed to give E-Sports employees full administrative access to users’ computers; they could access files, capture screen shots, track mouse movements, and monitor computer activity even when users weren’t logged into the E-Sports servers. Creepy! The software was designed to only mine Bitcoin when people weren’t active on their computers, i.e., when their mouse wasn’t moving. Over just two weeks, the company mined more than 29 Bitcoin; worth nearly $4,000 at the time.”
