Cluster monitoring finds an unapproved crypto-miner container running in a municipal Kubernetes namespace. What issue does this represent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A miner you never approved is unauthorized software—quarantine it, pull the plug on its access, and find how it got in. That is not 'just autoscaling.'
Full Explanation
Unapproved crypto-mining workloads indicate unauthorized software, often from compromised credentials, poisoned images, or weak admission controls. Security troubleshooting requires containment, forensic review of how the workload was admitted, and hardening of image and RBAC controls. Autoscaling and legitimate backup agents do not explain rogue miners.
