ISU breach?

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...

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

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.
