Russian authorities uncover 95 Bitcoin mining machines hidden inside a truck stealing electricity from a village.
Law enforcement in the Republic of Buryatia has uncovered an illegal Bitcoin mining operation concealed inside a KamAZ truck. The clandestine facility was siphoning off electricity meant for the local population.
According to the national news agency TASS, the discovery was made during a routine inspection of power lines in the Pribaikalsky district, where inspectors identified an unauthorized connection to a 10-kilovolt line — enough to power an entire village. The criminal operation showed a high level of organization, with sophisticated equipment hidden inside an apparently innocuous transport vehicle.
