Was it still through WINE? I'd feel bad for the miner as well as it likely couldn't have done the MSR mod so low hashrate lol.

Feeling bad that a scammer couldn't scam hard enough is hilarious. Only in a Linux forum.

Tbf, if you get an OOTB distro infected, that is most definitely user error

If you (somehow) manage to get gentoo or lfs infected, I'd still consider it user error lol

LFS maybe, but gentoo or arch is understandable because you have to set the security up yourself.
