Fortunately, no account was compromised; the software was being
run by the authorized user. Supposedly not mining cryptocurrency
but testing related software (still being investigated).

We are evaluating whether to wholesale ban all crypto-related
software to avoid this type of confusion, even if it is FOSS,
has low resource consumption, and is not being used for profit.

Discussions ongoing.

This is to reiterate that Farm machines are monitored, and that
any suspicious activity may be grounds for immediate suspension
of an account while the activity is investigated.
