Taipei, Feb. 23 (CNA) A personal computer belonging to a government employee was recently found to be infected with cryptocurrency mining malware and was immediately disconnected from the network of the agency at which the individual works, an official said Tuesday.
A subsequent investigation found that the employee at the government agency was not aware of the cryptojacking, according Chien Hung-wei (簡宏偉), head of at the national Department of Cyber Security.
In January, the department discovered that the malware was connected to a server that was hosting the mining of an unspecified digital currency, Chien said.
