Re: Go Sensations website hacked
The strategy is running code on your browser to slowly mine bitcoins, but if you don't already understand the idea of Bitcoin, be prepared to spend some time figuring it out. It's ineffective because the processing power of all the computers visiting the hacked page isn't likely to amount to a penny worth of bitcoins.

Re: Go Sensations website hacked
I see, thanks for the explanation. This thing got me wondering enough to actually make a post here, even though discussing go was of course my original intention when I first registered.

Specially because there is really no motivation whatsoever to "hack" a site like GoSensations, which has absolutely no security value whatsoever.
Just went to go4go, and found a spam post there, but found no way to report it.
