    Hi there

    Does your plugin currently detect and ban cryptocurrency miners such as Coinhive?

    Thanks,
    Wil.

    Hi Wil,

    Could you elaborate on this. Do you mean miners running from your own sites?

    Yes, detection of JS miners on a site I manage – alluding to possible malware

    Hi Wil,

    This isn’t probably something we’d be looking at… what’s more important is detecting whether or not you have hole in your site that’s allowing people to upload scripts or modify files on your hosting. Our hack protection module runs a couple of scans that help to detect corruption or unwelcome files…
