I found this techspot article interesting because the author noted that CBS-owned cable network "Showtime" neither confirmed nor denied that the hidden (now discovered) cryptocurrency mining code was a result of a hacker or their own doing.
No one reads the Terms of Service agreements that users must sign in order to register as a member.
If companies start to feel that they want to make some side dough and legitimize it by putting it in their Terms of Service, then I wonder if I have to start reading "the fine print?"
I wouldn't mind if the default is "opt-out" but all too often companies use the "opt-in" as a default. I also probably wouldn't mind if a company were to share/distribute mining profits (unlikely).
The silver lining here could be that the cryptocurrency market will grow if more companies can figure out ways to leverage their customer (overtly) to mine and (hopefully) be willing to share the profits.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
