Two men allegedly accessed a company’s cloud-computing account and installed several new servers and programs to mine a cryptocurrency. The company was unaware of the intrusion until a big bill arrived.
A pair of Iranian hackers have been charged with breaking into a Missouri tech firm’s cloud-computing account and running up a $760,000 bill while mining cryptocurrency.
As the programs ran, it resulted in large costs being added to the account of the St. Charles, Mo. company, prosecutors said. The company was only identified in court papers by its initials, T.T. Jeloudar had previously been indicted in the United States in 2016 for allegedly trafficking in stolen credit-card numbers and purchasing goods using hijacked credit-card accounts. He was never detained in that case.
