Description:
Website contains the version of the CoinHive JavaScript miner library that doesn't ask visitors for permission to use their CPU for mining cryptocurrency. This "silent" version is often injected into compromised websites without webmasters' consent.

The script can be injected into legitimate JavaScript files and look like this:

<script src="hxxps://coinhive .com/lib/coinhive.min.js" async></script>

Cleanup:
Remove the CoinHive miner from your site.
If you placed it on your site yourself, consider using the AuthedMine version of it that asks visitors for permission to mine Monero on their computer and warns about how it may affect performance and battery life. Read more here..

Affecting: Any web site (no specific target).
