Galveston district uncovers cryptocurrency-mining devices at schools
Galveston Independent School District President Tony Brown took a moment Wednesday night to publicly thank the district’s information technology department for uncovering a surreptitious cryptocurrency-mining operation underway at six different schools.
Cryptocurrency is any form of currency that exists digitally or virtually and uses cryptography to secure transactions. The first and most popular cryptocurrency, bitcoin, launched more than a decade ago.Since then, students and rogue government employees have been mining for the virtual currencies, in some cases using computer equipment, electrical power and network processing power that belongs to their schools or employers, according to publication Government Technology.
