This week I noticed a "CoinHive Javascript Detection" in the logs of our Palo Alto.
When reading on the subject I noticed that there are websites around that use Javascript to start mining Crypto coins on the users' computer.

I noticed in the Palo Alto blog that : PANDB is able to block URLs hosting Coinhive JavaScript.
My question:
How does one actually block this?
When I visit for example https://coinhive.com/ and push the button "Start Mining" the CPU goes up to 100%.
