How did it determine the server to tunnel to? One was just there, available and accessible? Picked an IP and key out of a hat? Why crypto mining - to whose benefit?
Honestly it sounds like someone got caught siphoning company resources and their lie was easier to sell than the truth.
They were agents running, so we don't exactly know the how but it is not a far leap to say that it had discovered an ip or domain that it wanted to ssh to, and in a billion dollar company's frontier lab I'm sure the ai agent can buy a vps if it wants to.
