cryptocoin miners using stolen cards

  But the stolen cards are all that's fraudulent, not the high CPU loads.

    No, technically the use is fraudulent, which would be an incurred cost damage to the hosting provider (potentially including third-party breach of contract due to knock-on effects, SLAs etc), with another count of deception for paying with a stolen card... Anyway, I digress...

      In any case, though, there were just high CPU loads and the credit card wasn't stolen, so there was no actual fraud at all.

      "Process for adding the Allow High CPU Utilization safety flag was not followed." so high CPU utilization is allowed under certain cases
