Found a bizarre case: after the attacker breached the system, they just started mining obediently, not even bothering to cover their tracks. Operation logs and process records were all left intact, as if they were afraid no one would notice.

This kind of "Zen hacker" actually exposes a reality—a lot of projects have monitoring systems that are practically useless, so attackers aren’t worried about being discovered at all. The mining rigs run happily while the security team remains completely unaware.

Reminder to everyone: regularly audit abnormal server processes and resource usage. Don’t wait until your electricity bill skyrockets to realize something’s wrong.

Haha, this hacker is really laid-back, almost ready to leave a note for the security team. Basically, the monitoring system is just as useless, and attackers don't even consider the risk pricing at all. Mining, to put it simply, is similar to market making. You have to keep a constant eye on your liquidity pools, or you'll be unaware when someone is draining them. Did you only realize when electricity costs skyrocketed? Too late, buddy. If this were on an exchange, it would have been liquidated already.

This guy is really Buddha-like, still keeping logs while mining, haha, hilarious --- Monitoring being ineffective is a common practice; most projects simply don't care --- Wait, what does this mean... Could the security team also be secretly mining? --- Only realizing the intrusion after a huge jump in electricity bills, how slack are the operations team --- Buddha-like hackers could also be considered a different kind of social test, haha --- It's truly outrageous not to erase traces, their courage is incredible --- Regular audits are easy to talk about; how many teams actually do them? --- The mining rigs run happily without the security team noticing, is this a strange kind of harmony? --- They intruded and are still so arrogant; this shows they look down on people

Haha, this hacker is really lazy, just completely gave up pretending. --- Saying the monitoring system is just for show really hits home, so many projects are like this. --- Only noticed the mining rigs when the electricity bill suddenly doubled, how ridiculous is that? --- I just want to know what the security team was doing, how did they not notice this? --- Truly a laid-back hacker, mining so brazenly. --- Seriously, you need to self-check regularly, don’t wait until you’re slaughtered like a pig to react. --- What does this case show? That most projects don’t take security seriously at all. --- Mining rigs running wild, the electricity bill says it all. --- A bit speechless, if things like this can slip by, what’s the security department even for? --- This is why you have to check resource usage regularly. If you’re too lazy to check, just wait to be exploited.

Haha, this hacker is really lazy—attacking in such a laid-back way. The security team really needs to reflect on this; having monitoring that's basically useless is a bit heartbreaking. I only realized there was a miner when my electricity bill skyrocketed—too late, bro. With this level of alertness, a thorough audit is definitely needed. The attacker isn’t even bothering to cover their tracks anymore—what does that tell you... This is kind of funny; isn’t this basically running around naked? Seriously, a lot of projects have a worrying lack of understanding about their own systems. Being this laid-back has become the most straightforward warning. Wait, this guy is really just mining there, not even a bit nervous. The miner runs quietly, the security team sleeps quietly—reality is just that ironic. If this case spreads, at least people will be more alert, right? You can tell everything just by looking at the logs; who cares if you try to cover it up or not.

This hacker is just ridiculous, mining without even trying to cover their tracks—they deserved to get caught. WTF, where is this project's security team? The mining rigs were running at full capacity and they still didn't notice. Honestly, that's how most projects are; their monitoring is basically just for show. Damn, only realizing you've been hacked when the electricity bill comes in—that's so embarrassing. This hacker is so chill—either they're too lazy to plan an exit, or they're just not afraid of you at all. Regular audits are a must, otherwise you'll get exploited every day and not even know it. You call this a hacker? Can't even hide their tracks, just blatantly mining—no wonder they're done for.

Haha, this guy is really laid-back, even the attacker has given up. --- Honestly, this is just a joke. Was the security team sound asleep or what? --- They only noticed after the electricity bill skyrocketed; how negligent can you be? --- What's the point of monitoring if it's just for show? This is seriously not taking security seriously. --- From what I see, a lot of teams don't even know what their servers are running. --- Come on, they don't even bother wiping logs. This attacker is just showing off, right? --- What does this say? Most projects' monitoring is just for show. --- It's kind of ironic when you think about it. Hackers can't even be bothered to hide, and we're still here talking about security. --- That detail about the electricity bill spiking is just insane. How unprofessional can you get?
