A method of identifying cryptocurrency mining on a networked computerized device includes intercepting network traffic between the networked computerized device and a public network, and extracting Internet Protocol (IP) packet data of the intercepted network traffic. The IP packet data of the intercepted network traffic is evaluated such that if the intercepted network traffic is determined to be characteristic of communication with a cryptocurrency mining pool it is determined that the networked computerized device is mining cryptocurrency. One or more remedial actions are taken if it is determined that the networked computerized device is mining cryptocurrency, such as blocking traffic between the networked computerized device and the mining pool or notifying a user.
