How to Block/Stop Cryptojacking Using Adblock

You probably read about how The Pirate Bay was testing out a new system that would dig into your CPU to fuel a cryptocurrency mining operation for itself. Maybe you’re cool with that. Probably you’re not.
If not, you can add a filter to Adblock Plus that will keep your computer from becoming a crypto-mule.
Just take these steps:
1. Go to your list of extensions, or click on the Adblock Plus stop sign.
2. Find Adblock Plus and click on Options.
3. Click the Add your own filters tab at the top. In the text field that appears, enter ||coin-hive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js
4. Click +Add Filter
You’re done!
