- Aeolun 5y agoPotentialy, but it’s much easier if they never have to look for VM’s mining at all.
- skinkestek 5y agoAs long as it is free miners will keep trying to get around it by for instance running tons of different free accounts each with a obfuscated mining system. Even if you catch all just having them try will be a huge waste of resources.
- lkxijlewlf 5y agoThat just turns into a cat and mouse game.
- Ensorceled 5y agoSure ... look for high CPU then anonymous miners cap their CPU usage. And a few legitimate users (and potential customers) get locked for reasons they don't understand. Repeat with every other trick you use to detect abuse.
- Fabricio20 5y agoIt's not just miners, you also have people using your free or even cheap tiers for DDOS/PortScan/SSH Bruteforce. These ones burn your IP address so it's better to prevent it than to try to catch it later. A credit card check goes a long way as a barrier to entry.
