RE: CT News: Hackers Crack Amazon's Cloud to Mine BTC!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Interesting news. I guess the hook is AWS. Seems like people are looking for free CPU wherever they can get it. I look forward to the proof of stake schemes that are being developed by many of the cryptocurrency systems. It is time to use compute power to solve real world problems...not doing busy work to prove compute power. When this happens, there will be no reason to hack or steal compute power for mining.

Yes. It is certainly odd to see AWS getting hacked when they are one of the largest IT services on the planet! Scary even right?
