After Brian Krebs published an article about coinhive, in which he also revealed the identity of the people behind pr0gramm.com, a german imageboard, the users are expressing their protest by donating to the german "Krebshilfe" (Krebs is german for cancer) with the subject "Krebs ist scheiße >_" (Krebs is shit and the pr0gramm-Logo). This lead not only to ten-thousends of euros in donations but also crashes the servers of the NPO and also of pr0gramm, as the users are uploading pictures of their donations to the board.
