    It looks like some users will really experience "black" Friday.

    Noticed this one yesterday on BC web site.

    This one is nasty in that it is a deliberate attempt to bypass adblocker and browser block list detection of the Coin Hive imbedded script. Eset detected it upon loading of the everlast.com web page.

    This one would be a good test of your existing coin miner protection.
