"Security experts claim four extremely popular video-streaming websites have been secretly loaded with crypto-currency-crafting code." Shaun Nichols at The Register's report is based on Andrey Meshkov's blog post:

"we came across several VERY popular websites that secretly use the resources of users' devices for cryptocurrency mining and were avoiding ad blockers so far. According to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992 million visits monthly. And the total monthly earnings from crypto-jacking, taking into account the current Monero rate, can reach $326,000."
