Time to use all our (and or office) computers for cryptomining (without authorization?) That's what a few admins decided to do ( maybe, they thought it was no different from watching netflix or youtube )




Better yet, what if you were those sysadmins, and you thought no one would mind all the unaccounted-for megawatt-hours on the next electricity bill? (Or at least hoped they wouldn’t notice?)

According to Russian news agency Interfax, the moonlighting activity of choice for a bunch of rogue workers at the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics, was cryptomining.
