Cryptojacking — the unauthorized use of victims' computing resources to mine cryptocurrency — recorded over 1 billion attack incidents in 2023, a 659% year-over-year increase, making it one of the fastest-growing categories of cyber threat. While per-incident harm is lower than ransomware, the aggregate financial damage runs into hundreds of millions of dollars annually, with documented links to North Korean state-sponsored operations that use mining proceeds to fund weapons programs and evade sanctions.
