On Monday a reddit user named gambledub posted on the MMA subreddit r/mma the following message: “Fight Pass is Shady! YSK UFC Fight Pass is using your PC to crypto mine. Your CPU is being used to mine, without your knowledge on a service you already pay!”
According to Coindesk.com the code shown in that image was, “a monero mining script that can be embedded in a web page” developed by the company Coinhive. Monero, like Bitcoin, is a cryptocurrency.
According to Coindesk the UFC then issued a statement further discussing the alleged crypto mining. That statement read:
“Immediately upon learning of the reported issue, Neulion, UFC’s over-the-top digital service provider, reviewed the UFC.TV/FIGHTPASS site code and did not find any reference to the mentioned Coinhive java script. We are continuing to review the available information and feel confident that there are no coding issues across the site at this time.”
