This attack represents the first documented use of WebAssembly and parallel Web Workers in cryptojacking, enabling unprecedented stealth and scale. The ability to silently evaluate and commandeer computing resources across thousands of sites simultaneously demonstrates how digital control systems can be invisibly implemented at mass scale - a crucial technical milestone for prophesied economic control mechanisms.
3,500+ Sites Hit by Monero Mining Malware: Digital Mark Testing
📰 What Happened
Cybersecurity firm c/side has uncovered a widespread cryptojacking campaign affecting over 3,500 websites. The attack uses obfuscated JavaScript code to secretly mine Monero cryptocurrency through visitors' browsers. The malware evaluates device computing power and deploys parallel Web Workers while avoiding detection through throttled processor usage and WebSocket communication. The campaign marks a significant resurgence of browser-based mining, seven years after the shutdown of pioneer service Coinhive.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The malware's 'digital vampire' characteristics, as described by c/side analysts, align with Revelation's warning of deceptive economic control. The use of WebSocket streams to hide mining operations behind normal browser traffic demonstrates how prophesied surveillance and control systems could be implemented invisibly. The 3,500+ compromised sites represents a 7-fold increase over previous cryptojacking campaigns, suggesting an acceleration in the development of technologies that could enable the mark of the beast system. The parallel Web Workers technology shows how individual devices can be centrally controlled while maintaining apparent normalcy.
