Cybersecurity company NortonLifeLock has reportedly disclosed details of its new tool dubbed Norton Crypto, which enables safe crypto mining via its Norton 360 product.

Specifically, starting May 3rd, a few particularly chosen 360 users will reportedly receive the invitation to become a part of Norton’s early adopter program, dedicated to Ether mining. 

Norton reportedly has plans down its pipeline to make its mining services available to every one of its approximate 13 million 360 customers, in the next months. 

Norton reportedly highlighted that its services will equip users with the freedom to mine, at no expense of turning off their antivirus software.

Norton additionally disclosed that it aims to roll out facilitating features for other “top cryptos that allow our members to get the highest reward for their computing capacity” in the long run. 

“While the company will start slow, with a focus on helping customers safely mine Ethereum, NortonLifeLock is considering adding reputable cryptocurrencies in the future.”

NortonLifeLock chief product officer Vincent Pilette reportedly showed how proud he was, upon the news that his company is leading the sector in providing services allowing miners “to safely and easily turn the idle time on their PCs into an opportunity to earn digital currency.”

Norton reportedly vowed to add enhanced security updates to the currently utilized mining protocols. 

“For years, many coin miners have had to take risks in their quest for cryptocurrency, disabling their security in order to run coin mining and allowing unvetted code on their machines that could be skimming from their earnings or even planting ransomware.”
