Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system that can be configured to identify cryptomining malware. The electronic device can be configured to identify a website, determine one or more uniform resource locators associated with the website, determine scripts associated with the website, obtain a string format of each of the determined scripts associated with the website, analyze each of the of the string formats to determine if a specific script is related to malware, and block the website if the specific script is related to malware. In an example, the system can also be configured to determine if usage of the computer processing unit and/or system resources increase more than a threshold amount during access to the website and send the one or more uniform resource locators associated with the website to a network security engine for further analysis.
