Recently some websites have begun to use the resources of the user system they are visiting for mining. Some of them display a notification on the screen that explains what happens before they start, while others start using your system without saying anything.

This publication refers to the second sites, which are starting to use the resources of their visitors' systems to gain cryprobes.

Who is mining? is a web application that has a comprehensive list of all known mining websites. It also allows you to check out a mining page without telling it to the end user.

Visit it whoismining.com and type the URL of the page that you suspect uses your browser to do mining cloaking. The web application will confirm whether your suspicions are true.

The app still has endless lists of webpages with that behavior.
