The Russian oil pipeline company used to mining cryptocurrencies

On December 15 of last year, the Russian authorities issued a statement informing that the systems of the company Transneft, an oil pipeline company belonging to the Russian government, had been used fraudulently to generate the Monero cryptocurrency.

According to Reuters reports, a representative of the company said that the malware was automatically downloaded from a website and could cause productivity losses. What he did not make clear was how long the company was infected by this malware and how much was generated.
