Leading anti-malware software provider and cyber security firm Malwarebytes Labs says that reports of cryptojacking, which had spiked in Q1 2018, have begun declining as general market sentiment suffers and interest in cryptocurrencies wane.

Cryptojacking, the practice of hackers installing malware onto an unsuspecting user’s computer to utilize its processing power to mine for cryptocurrencies like Monero, has overtaken ransomware as the top threat, according to rival cyber security firm Kaspersky Labs. However, Malwarebytes believes that cryptojacking’s reign is about to end.

In a new report titled Cybercrime Tactics and Techniques: Q2 2018, Malwarebytes data shows that cryptojacking increased significantly in Q1 2018 – a claim that another rival McAfee labs corroborates – only to fall in Q2 2018 as prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum dropped significantly. Malwarebytes thinks that during the next quarter, cryptojacking will no longer be the top threat.

“We are not certain which threat is going to take over as the top detection next quarter, but it’s unlikely to be cryptominers.”

The report continues to explain why cyber criminals may be deterred from continuing their cryptojacking efforts:

“The drop in cryptomining infections is a sign of decreased interest by people and criminals trying to make a quick buck from the popular cryptocurrency market, which is likely not making as many people rich overnight as it did in late 2017. Until changes in the cryptocurrency market cause a spike or swift downturn, expect to see cryptomining hum along at its current slower pace into Q3.”

Despite cryptojacking seeing a decline, cryptocurrency related theft as a whole is trending at an all-time high, tripling year-over-year, with some industry professionals saying “it’s as easy as robbing banks.” The cryptocurrency market has also seen a number of exchanges and wallet services being hacked, resulting in lost funds for investors.
