Russian Nuclear Hub Employees Set up CryptoCurrency Mining from their office Supercomputer and they are not the First!

Good morning Steemians,

So this morning I read an article from Spudnik News about a few very brave russain's from the All Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics based in the closed city of Sarov,
It's unclear of how many were involved but they managed to get into the famous 1-petaflop-capable super computer (A petaflop is an ability of a computer able to do one quadrillion floating point operations per second) and managed to get it online to mine cryptocurrency, obviously using your office computer to mine cryptocurrency is a big no anyway but a SUPERCOMPUTER! these guys must have been crazy.

They completely ignored that age old rule of don't use your office supercomputer to try and mine a cryptocurrency and landed themselves in some deep dodo.
This was a crazy idea for two main reasons:

1. They had to connect the supercomputer to the internet, which is a massive NO! given it's sensitive work.
2. Every single action on the petaflop computer is tracked and monitored by the russian FSS (Federation Security Service).

This crazy idea has landed the people involved with treason charges and could be faced with at least 20 years imprisonment.

According to fastcompany they are not the first russians to use office supplies to mine cryptocurrency, employees at Russia’s largest bank, the state-controlled Sberbank, have been found to be using the company’s powerful GPU chips to jump into cryptomining. One russian businessman took it to a whole new level when he bought TWO WHOLE POWER PLANTS in an article by kommersant (a russian new feed) Alexey Kolesnik, who at the end of December headed OOO GEK bought the two power plants in order to put data centers in them and start mining cryptocurrency. He is also the general director and the main owner (66%) of OOO Nordix-Perm (fuel trade).
