Never though of this when I'm still in school but this is clearly profitable given the free source of electricity. I was so amazed by the creativity and intellect of those students taking advantage of the situation.
I don't have much knowledge about cyber security, is it really possible that the school's network will be compromised due to students mining activities using the schools internet connection? Will there be any legal charges if the students will get caught? Share me your thoughts.

I think if you mining in some pool with no secure system, your network can exposed to some hacking.
Always using a reliable mining pool when you mining because usually they have a high security system in their pool
