I assume they mean a mining script - so that the person running the jsfiddle would be mining cryptocurrencies, and the proceeds would go to the scammers wallet address.


If that is true, Twitter should also block every newspaper out there. Their bloated websites max out my CPU too.


Get uMatrix and block scripts.


I am thinking code that would leverage browser extension wallets like Metamask and access the wallet of the user and steal the crypto.


It should just be an address, the scam would be to try convince you to send money there.
