Crytojacking:

1. Clicking on a malicious link in an email that loads crypto-mining code on the computer

2. Infecting a website or online ad with JavaScript code that auto-executes once loaded in the victim's browser

Example: In 2018, cryptojackers targeted the operational technology network of a European water utility control system, seriously impacting the operators' ability to manage the utility plant. This was the first known instance of a cryptojacking attack against an industrial control system
