Although Coinhive shut down and its cryptominer dropped down on the sixth place in Check Point’s latest Global Threat Index, coinminers continue to lead the pack with Cryptoloot, XMRig, and Jsecoin taking the first, third, and fifth place.

After the Coinhive cryptomining service which offered web devs a JavaScript-based Monero miner ceased all operations on March 8 and rendered its coinmining script useless, its place was quickly taken by its direct competitor, the CPU/GPU-based Cryptoloot Javascript web miner for Monero.
