Re: Los Alamos National Laboratory is building an anti crypto mining AI

First time that I heard about an AI trying to spot a malware used for crypto jacking. It says it also focus on supercomputers but maybe it could also be implemented for desktop as well.
A supercomputer has nothing to do with a desktop computer.
Anyway,I thought that supercomputers are running in a "closed" network,without access to the world wide web,since their main function is to do big math calculations.How a supercomputer can be infected by a crypto mining virus?I'm no expert in this field,so this seems weird to me.
I guess that crypto mining scripts are easy to be detected by any ordinary anti-virus program,when it comes to desktop computers,so there's no need for Artificial Intelligence.
typical super computer time is reserved far in advance by scientists and universities with very tight time frames and parameters. be kinda hard to sneak mining into some super advanced weather model and such.
imo anyway. its like stealing time from the hubble telescope or something. be easy to notice when some project bombs or takes significantly longer to complete.
