Cryptocurrency-mining Windows malware has been found for the first time on a network of industrial control systems (ICS) at an operational treatment plant for a water utility. Radiflow, a security provider for critical infrastructure, made the discovery recently. Initial investigations suggest that the malware arrived via malicious advertising viewed in a web browser on a machine responsible for the ICS's Human Machine Interface (HMI). So really this story is about three problems.

And how often do you hang out with losers who spend all their money on cerveza and lottery tickets because they live very shitty lives and throwing rocks at your car is their only way to punish you for your success.

Probably a lot more often than you had suspected.
Nothing wrong with spending time with such friends, you just have to remember not to give them things like valuable home theater or computer equipment (nothing that the pawn shop will pay them for=poof, gone). Even though I have a (small) savings account and a few (meager) investments, some of my best friends come from the cultural group that spends every dime but somehow never runs out of lottery/beer/cigs/whatever they like. That's okay with me.
If they throw rocks at my car, I have a standing policy that I will take offense if they can identify which dent, mark, or scratch is the one that they made personally.
