I was being too glib with zero skill in this thread, as it evidently needs some skill. I’m tempted to do a write up but a bit worried about defrosting cold storage warehouses 😅

@GossiTheDog Are you sure they were mining crypto? In the article they say that is unlikely: 'The devices are low-powered and on slow cellular links, which rules out crypto mining and makes them poor for denial-of-service.'
Did an LLM mess up the summary? 🙃
