The value of electronic money in general and Bitcoin in particular is tending to increase again in recent months, leading to the rate of frauds, violations related to electronic money, and the operation of "digging coins."

More sophisticated, although created by an individual, this virtual money mining rig is directly connected to the intranet system of the South Ukraine nuclear power plant. From the above factors, authorities believe that the plan to exploit this virtual money not only violated the national electricity network, but also harmed the internal data security agreements of nuclear power plants. Southern Ukraine - information that is considered a state secret.

Although specialized hardware and complex setup diagrams are required, the process of exploiting electronic money is generally quite simple. To ensure 'profitability', operators of the rig need to be sure that the cost of the operation in the mining operation does not exceed the amount of electronic money collected. This may sound 'delicious' but in fact contains a lot of risks. Besides the amount of investment capital to buy hardware to set up the operation platform, the costs incurred in the process of digging virtual money are also not small, mainly electricity because this activity consumes extremely terrible power. .

In early June, Chinese authorities issued a statement to arrest a man after investigating that he stole electricity from an oil well for Bitcoin mining.

Or as of October 2018, the Hard Fork website also gave information about the incident of another Chinese man stealing $ 15,000 worth of electricity from the local rail network to provide power. amount for his e-money rig.
