Title: ISU breach?
Post by: woodward87 on April 22, 2014, 08:27:31 PM
Has anyone heard about the security breach at Iowa State University? It sounds like 5 of the college's servers got hacked for the purpose of generating bitcoins. I've never heard of anything like that being done before...

yes well this is possible :)
I heard many times about malwares that steal your power to mine BTC :)
So .. malware can infect thousands of computers, and mine :) this is interesting.

Perhaps they had bad security. Lames.

Synology produce NAS. Celeron & ARM.
Low power procesor.
Why Bitcoin ? Maybe scrypt coin !   ;)
