World's Largest Oil-Pipeline Company Uncovers Illegal Crypto Mining Operation
The world’s largest oil pipeline company has a cryptocurrency problem.
According to Reuters, officials at Transneft revealed that somebody - presumably an employee - used the company’s computers for the unauthorized mining of Monero, the world’s eleventh-largest digital currency with a market capitalization of nearly $5 billion.
Comments from company officials seem to suggest that illegal crypto mining was discovered on more than one occasion.
