Why it matters:<\/strong> Earlier this week, someone released a program to supposedly help cryptominers get around mining limits Nvidia installed on its recent graphics cards. It sounded unsafe to begin with, but now it looks like the whole thing was a malware scam. <\/p>\n

When Wccftech’s Hassan Mujtaba investigated<\/a> the Nvidia RTX Light Hash Rate (LHR) BIOS v2 unlocker this week, it turned out to be filled with malware. Videocardz notes that the malware connects<\/a> to a remote server. Not only that, the program’s Github page has now disappeared.<\/p>\n
