Two officials of the Crimean Council of Ministers were terminated after they were caught mining Bitcoin using government computers as of early October 2017. The officials allegedly installed “malicious software” on the government’s server, and programmed more than a dozen computers for the mining of Bitcoin.
At a press conference in Sevastopol, Alexander Akshatin, chairperson of the Anti-Corruption Committee of the Republic of Crimea, has announced that the council’s head of information technology (IT) department, and the department’s head of hardware and technical support were already dismissed.
“They put malicious software on the server of the Crimean government, which opened access to the information stored on it. Concurrently, more than a dozen computers in the basement of the building were also used which gave this same access.”
