Warning: my kid's tablet almost got bricked by a 'free game' download.

I let him download from a weird site last week and it installed a crypto miner... had to factory reset the whole thing. Anyone know a good parental control app that actually blocks these fake game sites?

A crypto miner on a kid's tablet? That's a new low for those scam sites.

Remember my friend's kid had a tablet that got super slow and hot. He found a crypto miner running after visiting some sketchy game site, just like you said @the_wesley. It's crazy how they'll target anything with a screen now.

Man, @walker.max, that's so messed up they'd even go after a kid's tablet like that.
