It seems to me that experts these days may have a lot of knowledge, but the don't necessarily have a lot of understanding.

It occurs to me that if mining cryptocurrencies was an actual viable way to make money then 'legitimate' companies wouldn't need to hide miners in their other software.

Fido Assumes The Position

A dog's owner is their master, a voice of authority they follow obediently. At least that's how it's supposed to work in an ideal world. When that voice of authority is subject to an even higher authority (like the police) it kind of makes sense that a dog would follow their owner's lead.

I suspect this was installed by someone who didn't understand how keys work (hard to believe anyone could be that stupid, I know).

Somehow I doubt this was what the people responsible were aiming for.

Way To Go, Mom!

from here

True story, this actually happened last Friday. Unfortunately this wasn't before she gave them remote access to her system with TeamViewer (so I still have to rebuild the system). Still, the fact that she didn't give them administrative access and scared them away this way when they asked if there was anyone else who could give them the access they were looking for is a victory and I'll take it.

I would say that's a clever way to hide your booze but people are bound to start thinking there's something wrong with you if you're kissing your baby too much, you lush.
