    Hi everyone,

    I was planning on reading on KobatoChanDaiSuki but my antivirus showed me that there is a coin mining script on the site. Is this a new thing now?

    Who knows. The site may have gotten hacked like volares or their testing something out like some other sites.
    Asking @kobatochandaisuki would be the best method

    Hello and sorry for the late.

    No, we don't have such things and I would never put or/and wouldn't be able even if I wanted since I have no idea how to create such shitty things.

    Otherwise, it seems it is only a few people getting those and many do not have such issues so I highly suspect your browser has a malicious plugin on it or such.

    In the worst case, just disable java script in the browser setting (although our ad revenues would go down in this case but what can we do?)

    PS: I don't have any cryptocurrency wallet and don't support any cryptocurrency at all.

    There was a situation in the past where i created a post about volarenovels, they had a bitcoin in the page font/script and now its happening with kobatochan, i couldnt find the script, the page loading the bitcoinminer must be ''securepubads-g-doubleclick-net'' (''-'' for ''.'')

    only happens in kobato's site, here's a print.

    (it's in portuguese tho) https://imgur.com/T9BU3Dl.png

    can someone check the script and see if you can find any conection to ''securepubads-g-doubleclick-net''?(probably hidden, i couldn't find it).
    the page i tested was "https://kobatochan.com/all-things-wrong-chapter-38/", and everytime i refresh the page, the miner is blocked.

    im running virus scans to see if its my computer but i doubt it is, as it only occurs in kobatochan.com.

    you can learn more about the bitcoinminer hacked websites here

    btw, if you disable javascript, the coinminer doesnt activate.

    Wasn't somebody talking about this a few days ago? I think it's an old issue.

    doubleclick.net are Google ads, so it's probably just a bad ad that got in the system.
