A researcher has documented almost 2,500 sites that are actively running cryptocurrency mining code in the browsers of unsuspecting visitors, a finding that suggests the unethical and possibly illegal practice has only picked up steam since it came to light a few weeks ago.

Networked consumer and business printers manufactured and sold by Brother contain an unpatched vulnerability that can be abused by a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition on the device.
