What is Mac Cryptominer Virus?
Although it has been over a decade since the first cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) was released, establishing the currency in the market took several years. In the early stages, Bitcoin was virtually worthless. Gradually, though, the price began to rise significantly - in January, 2017, Bitcoin's price was around $1,000.
Twelve months later, it reached $20,000. This was a game changer. Although Bitcoin is the most powerful cryptocurrency, there are hundreds of others. As Bitcoin was rising, other popular cryptocurrencies (such as Ethereum, Monero, Litecoin, etc.) were also gaining value. This drew attention from the public and also, cyber criminals.
