Turns out, these sneaky mining devices, affectionately known as "miners," were sneaked in between August and September by one of the building's very own tech employees. These complex computers were stashed away in the trickiest corners of the building's infrastructure, designed to run 24/7 mining cryptocurrencies — fair catch, right? The court terminated its maintenance contract weeks before the discovery.
Rat Out the Scoundrels
The case has been assigned to Judge Sylwester Marciniak, head of the Court Information Department of the National Security Agency. Initial investigations have confirmed the presence of these crafty devices. The police were alerted, and they swiftly moved to dismantle and secure the equipment, complete with the modems, ensuring these bad boys weren't connected to the court's public network. Facility security apparently isn't compromised, but who knows what these guys already got their dirty paws on?
The investigation is far from over, as the focus lies not on the cryptocurrency mining itself, but on the allegations of stolen electricity, a criminal act under Article 278 paragraph 5 of the Penal Code. No charges have been filed just yet, as the investigation is still in the early stages, with IT experts and electrical power consumption specialists appointed to calculate the electricity theft.
