  • wait, there's more: cryptomining in avira

    Apparently Avira was up to this shenanigan last year:

    500M Avira Antivirus Users Introduced to Cryptomining https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/500m-avira-antivirus-users-introduced-to-cr
    yptomining/

    Looks like Avast could be next as Avast/Avira/Norton are all owned by the same players.
