Hi,

We have more and more troubles with clients visiting websites with hidden crypto miners in the background. We are using McAfee on the clients and this always triggers a bunch of alerts because McAfee detects the miner in the user's library/cache folder.

We would like to deploy some settings/add-ons to prevent Safari/Chrome/Firefox from loading this things in the first place so the McAfee alerts go down again.

How do you guys handle this problem? Are there already some solutions in place you would share?

Thanks for your input!

Greetings,
Marco

I haven't had this problem (or at least I'm not aware of it!), but No Coin has both a Chrome and Firefox version. Haven't used it anywhere at a large scale though.

Do you use any kind of IPS/IDS or web proxy? This seems to me that your network security team may be able to handle this better. You could disable JavaScript in the browser. That may help if it is an option.
