Dear CASPER community:

My lab has recently brought up a linux GPU server.  in breathing software
life into it we seem to have pulled a corrupted yum and installed a virus
that does bitcoin mining.

It doesn't seem to be particularly malicious except for chewing up your
compute cycles.  Nevertheless, you probably don't want this on your
machines.

try

ps aux | grep minerd

If you get a hit, it's time to start gritting your teeth. The virus seems
to be smart enough to deal with simple attempts to kill it, so you may have
your work cut out for you.

-------

other than that, Happy New Year.

JDS
