blog The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that one of Aunty's IT workers set up a system to use its vast server resources to make himself wealthy by generating uncounted Bitcoins '” the controversial virtual currency. The story was originally published in Crikey's 'tips and rumours' section:
'Bitcoins, as Crikey explained on Monday, is an online-only currency system quickly increasing in value. And one ABC staffer has apparently cashed in, in a serious IT breach Crikey understands is being investigated by the national broadcaster.'
