A hidden miner installed by an employee can be considered theft. If your company security team knows anything about security they would know how to block this and locate who installed it. This could be blocked down at the endpoint or at the network level. Definitely not worth the risk of getting fired for a few dollars.

Well said! This is really considered as theft yet you dont have any permissions on installing up these hidden miners.We cant still consider to be a penny income yet if the company
do have lots of pc's then the amount would be recognizable but well on exchange you are risking up your work/job once caught.

At the end of 2017 a simple system administrator in our company installed such hidden miners on computers in one of our outposts. They were found only after a couple of weeks and removed, and the employee publicly reprimanded and fired a month later with a scandal.
In general, installation in the workplace is definitely not good idea, if the topstarter thinks about it - please think again

That would really be a normal consequence for those employees who do took advantage on others resources and workplace is the best example on where lots of PC is present.
Yes, it is really ideal to run up hidden miners but if the owner itself doesnt have any awareness on what you are doing then its completely theft or simply illegal.
I wont really risk my job for this kind of thing if were on the shoes of OP.
