The process of generating power is called power generation, the process of giving birth to Bitcoin for example is called Mining. Mining power is generated from plugging together several computing machine, that Carrie’s out the mathematical process of confirming crypto transactions in other words, Bitcoin is generated through mining.

These machine power has advanced to the stage where it can be done wirelessly (cloud power) since google has a big storage capacity with their super computers, they have the largest mining power worldwide. should google get involved with crypto, it’s game over for those who are against crypto. Hackers know this, so they’re targeting people and companies using these google cloud services like it’s theirs to solve crypto transactions for the purpose of making profits.

It's hacking. Social engineering is a form of hacking.

Actually humans are easier to hack than machines.

So basically in order to mine cryptocurrency (i.e solve some blockchain eq to gain tokens)...you need some good computer rig setup, this setup and mining cost time, money, and power (electricity)....

Google offers infrastructure as a service, where you can set up a server/computing rig on google cloud and run whatever kind of service you want for a fee...

So basically these hackers are hacking into this service(people who have cloud service accounts) and setting up mining rigs on google cloud for free....mining their cryptocurrency without paying (money and power cost)

Lol. Those hackers dey use people combined computer power take dey solve Bitcoin transaction, all the profits from those transactions nai be their gain. And because google nai get the biggest computers you can think of, them get technology wey dem dey call cloud computing.

Meaning, any program wey you dey run for your normal computer, you fit do am from another computer wey no be your own, so far say you fit login to your google cloud account.

Na the loophole wey those hackers dey use take dey mine Bitcoin be that.

It is no news Russians and North Koreans are masters of ransomware scams.
REMMEI:
All I see is a conspiracy against the Russians... How do they even confirmed it's the Russian hackers.

US that owns goggle haven't adopted crypto currency fully.. Now they are trying to bring the market down by propagating these news about hacking and all.. By the time crypto dropped fully, they will then buy in bulk. Like owning larger BTC worth.

They just want to own everything.. They did the same to Blackberry, a Canadian owned company.

Damn them!
