The intruders had root access to every server in a salt deployment for who knows how long and yet everyone is claiming there's no evidence that any data or secrets (customer's or otherwise) were exfiltrated from the network. This is a very dangerous assumption. Nobody has any idea what was run on the servers since it seems that once the initial attack script was deployed it downloaded and executed new scripts every 60s and then removed themselves. Pretty standard C&C ops. It may have started as a mining operation, but that doesn't mean it was the only thing it was doing.
