    • The supercomputers for mining

    Giant losses

    Yesterday, June 9th, a citizen of Makhachkala, Russia was arrested. According to the police, the miner was supposed to connect about 500 machines used to mine Bitcoins and Altcoins to the state power network. Illegal mining machines were to operate from 6 June. They had already managed to charge the network for over 34 million roubles ( 494 thousand dollars). 

    More than 500 components

    During the raid, the police confiscated 518 computer components used in crypto mining. The man who was arrested in this case is under investigation. It is not yet certain whether the inhabitant of Makhachkala had something to do with illegal mining. The base that the police managed to find was hired by an unidentified individual. It was located on the 3rd floor in an uninhabited place in the suburb of New Khushet. 

    It is not known what value the crypto was illegally mined. But it was not an isolated case of illegal cryptocurrency mining in Russia.

    The supercomputers for mining

    The most famous attempt to illegally cryptocurrency mining in this country was at the Russian Nuclear Centre. The workers planned to use a supercomputer, which was located in a closely guarded laboratory. It had incredible processing power, so mining would be very efficient. There was only one obstacle to the road to wealth. The computer wasn’t plugged into the network. It was for security reasons, so hackers couldn’t get secret information. Among other things, the first Russian atomic bomb was created in this laboratory. However, the scientists decided to take the risk of hacking and tried to connect the computer to the network. The plan failed, however, because they activated security systems, and information about this attempt was sent to the Russian services.
