Microsoft has modified its policy terms to make it clear that cryptocurrencies ຂຸດຄົ້ນບໍ່ແຮ່ on its online services are not permitted without prior authorization. The upgrade, which is applicable to all users, including Microsoft’s premium subscribers, went into effect this December.
Microsoft Prohibits Crypto Mining
ໄດ້ ຍົກລະດັບ forbids users from mining on Microsoft’s online services, primarily those connected to its cloud platform Azure. Mining is the process of verifying and adding transaction records to ຫຼັກຖານສະແດງການເຮັດວຽກຂອງ blockchains.

This decision brings Microsoft in line with other major companies, such as Google, which restricts the mining of cryptocurrencies on its cloud platforms without prior consent. Mining is prohibited for users on the free tier of Amazon Web Services as well.
Mining Disrupts Services
“Cryptocurrency mining can disrupt or even impair Online Services and its users, and is often associated with unauthorized access to and use of customer accounts,” Microsoft said in an official statement to the media.

Mining Malware On The Rise
Microsoft issued a warning to its users about a new malware program designed to mine cryptocurrency that was capable of stealing passwords, removing security measures, spreading through email, and ultimately removing more features designed for human-operated activity.
