Crypto-jacking occurs when a hacker takes over a user’s device, without their permission to mine for crypto-currencies. The frequency of this type of attack seems to be accelerating

You should keep all programs and operating systems updated and run daily security scans.
A good trick is to monitor your computer usage through Task Manager. If your device has been exploited for crypto-mining purposes, you will see the web browser using a large amount of resources within Task Manager. To access Task Manager, hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys, then select Task Manager. 4 years ago

If you ever wonder if any of your online accounts have been compromised, a site called haveibeenpwned can help - search to see if your email address or account names have shown up in these data breaches. If you haven't used it before, it's worth checking out and setting up notifications so you'll get an email if your accounts show up in a future data breach
