CYBERPOWERPC Unveils MEGA MINER Coin Mining PC Series

CyberPower Inc., a global manufacturer of custom gaming PCs, today announced its MEGA MINER series, a family of high-performance systems designed and optimized not only for gaming, but for cryptocurrency mining as well. The MEGA MINER series is powered by AMD's Radeon R9 series graphics cards, which provide up to 1000KHash/sec on a single card. With the ability to add up to three cards per system, the MEGA MINER has been intelligently designed with the GPU power to perform the necessary calculations faster to earn more coins.

The MEGA MINER series comes with a choice of AMD's FX-4300 processor or Intel's Core i3-4130 Haswell processor depending on the model. The series also utilizes the Thermaltake DPS series of 80 Plus digital power supplies, which conveniently monitor one of the most vital pieces of information all coin miners need to know - your electricity cost. The MEGA MINER systems combine powerful mining hardware with the precision and control of Thermaltake DPS power supplies for the best coin mining experience.





While MEGA MINER machines are ideal for mining cryptocurrency, their multi-GPU nature also make them extremely capable gaming PCs. Cryptocurrency mining software allows the user to schedule processing resources for each individual GPU, meaning one graphics card can be mining while the other is free for gaming purposes.

How does a browser injected coin miner work?

I seem to have fell prey to a website that had either intentionally or unintentionally been injected with a coin miner. I first noticed high CPU temps and thought my CPU cooler had failed. Then I found Chrome's high CPU utilization in Task Manager and then the culprit website through Chrome's own task manager.

Is this a form of malware? Does it infect the machine permanently? Or is it's focus to gain your system resources rather than personal information? Access to one's PC in any form is not good in my book. None of my AV mitigation's detected the miner.

Are there any mitigation's that can be put in place to protect ourselves from such breaches? I'm surprised that Chrome does not have a lock on this behavior yet. Appreciate any assistance *Mad

Hi.
Have a read here:

Explains it pretty well. You need some miner blockers in your browsers, at minimum.
