  2. Microsoft (Telemetry) Foils Massive Coin-mining Exploit Attempt

    How does Telemetry fit into this?

    The description says it was blocked by Defender ("triggered behavior-based alerts").
    It doesn't say:
    • Telemetry reported unusual PC activity to MS
    • MS analysed the Telemetry
    • MS sent out a Defender update to stop the "coin miner"

    That said, if Telemetry actually did something useful it deserves credit. Did windows defend actually remove a coin miner or? :)

    Telemetry certainly isn't fixing Windows Update issues though.

  3. Security Intelligence Update for Windows Defender Antivirus KB2267602 and Trojan JS Coin Miner

    This update has not installed and I have been trying for 2 weeks. I also have issues with Trojan JS Coin Miner which seems only to attack when I try to open certain apps. Does anyone know if these are related? Windows Defender and Windows Security haven't
    got rid of it. Should I uninstall and install these 2 apps?

    How does a browser injected coin miner work?

    Thanks @simrick

    I notice that we have a coin mining thread here on Ten Forums in the Antivirus section as well: Protecting yourself from In-Browser Miners Solved - Windows 10 Forums

    Apparently if I had Malwarebyte's premium it would have detected the coin miner. It's the first time I've been aware of falling victim to one so will have to bolster security further!
