Am I mining to somebody? : docker

Docker is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare metal, OpenStack clusters, public clouds and more.

Hi, I've just created a container from this image, which is the most popular image when one searches Minecraft on DockerHub. After it started I ran docker container mc top, and I found something really strange: /usr/xmrig/build/xmrig --url=*******:**** --tls --cpu-priority=0 --cpu-max-threads-hint=25 --background

Is this some kind of mining node? I'm not a crypto guy but it really seems like it, yes? I've tried to report it somehow to Docker but couldn't find the button for it. Can/should it be reported?

I'm not sure why docker is showing this as the most popular when itzg's images have over 100m downloads with 1.3k stars.
