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 !
I imagine the chances of getting caught are pretty slim but, the penalties are likely to be severe.
If running something as innocuous SETI or F@H on company machines will get you fired and sued for the cost of power, re-imaging the machines and a subsequent security audit then hashing Bitcoin for profit is going to see the book thrown at you.
Particularly for the guys in finance. The bank is going to lose it when some security consultant tells them they need to trash every bit of equipment that has potentially been "tainted" with bitcoin and inform their customers of the breach.
