What do you mean when they get caught? Do you mean their hardware is from questionable sources and being "borrowed"?
They shouldn't be using the equipment. One group is at a University, the other a bank/financial institution. They're tech support/networking, so able to do that, but bound to get caught at some point. Someone's gonna get too greedy, and/or make a mistake.
The question is, what can companies, academic institutions, and the like, do to prevent this ?
I should have kept my mouth shut, and kept this BTC to myself. And just made out that my online business was pulling in more money !
If the people doing this read the small print of their contracts, it usually states that anything built, designed, invented, etc in company time and/or using company assets is the property of the company. This means that legally any bitcoins mined are the property of the company and the person taking them is not only misusing/abusing corporate assets they are also guilty of theft.
