I know this is probably obvious to many people, but if a charitable soul could explain to me what a miner is and why the admins are involved in it, it would be very much appreciated. Also, explain like I am 5 if possible

A cryptocurrency miner. It uses your computer to generate currency, which costs you resources (electricity, compute power, etc.).

Except the currency mined doesn't go to you, but to the malware designer
