How to effectively prevent mining machines from computer virus
-
Before buying a second-hand machine, it is recommended to swipe the card and conduct network isolation for a period of time.
-
After the miner is repaired at an unofficial maintenance point, please update the firmware in time and modify the login password of the miner.
-
Do not use third-party overclocking firmware.
- Do not browse suspicious websites.
-
Use official secure firmware (close the SSH function firmware in the official website).
Antivirus method
-
Network isolation.
-
Go to the official after-sales service of the miner to obtain the relevant anti-virus software. After the acquisition is successful, follow the steps to perform anti-virus.
- If antivirus is unsuccessful, it is recommended to swipe the machine.
