>People still do CPU mining with stolen AWS servers even though CPU mining is inefficient.

I seriously doubt that. It's not just "inefficient", it's completely useless for bitcoin mining. It's something like spending $1000 in electricity to make a cent or two. It's not even worth the time to hack.

If you had that much cpu power under your control, you'd make more just selling it on darknet for 1% of its cost.
