Silent Crypto Miner V2.0.2 is a sophisticated cryptojacking malware designed to secretly hijack a victim’s computing resources to mine cryptocurrencies (such as Monero, Bitcoin, or Ethereum) without their consent. Unlike traditional malware that steals data, this strain focuses on profit generation through unauthorized mining, often leading to high CPU/GPU usage, system slowdowns, and increased electricity costs. The 2024 variant (V2.0.2) employs advanced evasion techniques, making it harder to detect by security software.
