[silversurfer]

Apple has increasingly been the target of crypto-mining attacks, and according to Check Point, iPhone attacks increased by nearly 400% over the last two weeks in September. 

In its most recently published Global Threat Index, Check Point researchers said they are continuing to investigate the reasons behind this sharp increase but reported that crypto-miners continued to be the most common malware in September 2018. Coinhive continued to hold the number-one position, which it has occupied since December 2017.
