UFC Fight Pass Hacking Users' Computers for Bitcoin Mining!!!

[SuperPig]

It depends on which browser you use and which mining service the ufc is using, but it basically boils down to blocking Javascript from a set of domains.

Just google 'disable javascript bitcoin mining' along with your browser, and you should be able to find a number of options. Here is an example.

NoScript will do the trick, and there is also a filter you can use if you have AdBlock Plus.

I'd like to add that if you're not already running those add ons then you're inadvertently being dumb.

It's like banging a hooker without wearing a condom even if you don't know that condoms are an option.

Think of it like this: it's like ur neighbor is stealing your cable (without asking u) and then making money by charging people to come watch Game of Thrones at their house.

Shit! That's illegal???

Yeah, but condoms are pretty easy to use and a lot of people don't understand computers enough to be able to handle stuff like this properly. Too many paid services that are SUPPOSED to protect people are half-assed (even the good ones).

Actually it's more like your cable company is selling you access to their service. But then they're also putting a camera in your house and selling that live feed for a few shekels to get a little more out of it.

Fixed it ; )

Fake News.

UFC has Top Men dealing with any and all unlicensed penetrations.

It's more like someone charging you to hold your money, but then making money off of what they do with that money.

Hey, wait a minute.
