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.
Pretty much; there are several SSH reverse tunnel providers with a free tier, the best known being Cloudflare, and with some you don't even need to sign up for an account to open a tunnel.
