'People play' electricity from nuclear power plants to exploit electronic money

Investing in electronic money is the most lucrative field in the last few years, especially for young people. 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." 'also increased strongly.

Electronic money digging is not currently an unfamiliar activity, but 'playing big', using secret areas in a nuclear power plant to conceal and deploy money mining activities electronics like this young man are unique.

According to the indictment file, a man holds special access to a number of areas and areas of the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant that has installed several rigs to exploit money at one of the buildings. administration of this factory, and at the same time, the power is always produced from the factory itself to operate its rig.

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.

Earlier on July 10, police investigators secretly raided the administrative building of the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant and confiscated all computer equipment for operating the virtual currency. license, including 6 AMD Radeon RX470 graphics cards, PCI riser, power supply, cooling system, motherboard, USB flash drive and multiple hard drives . estimated to be worth tens of thousands of USD.

With the special nature of a nuclear power plant, all personal computer devices outside the internal network are not allowed to use and connect within the factory. The authorities have not yet announced the specific type of virtual currency to be exploited as well as the amount of exploitation.

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. .

Besides the cost of hardware investment, the electronic money mining unit consumes huge amounts of electricity

Thus, the biggest problem for virtual money miners is how to balance the cost of hardware investment, the electricity bill to pay and the number of coins to dig. In particular, the cost of purchasing hardware equipment is mandatory, but electricity can be 'stolen'. That is why many cases of stealing electricity to exploit virtual money have been discovered.

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. Damage is estimated at about 7,000 USD (48,560 yuan). 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.
