Ukraine –
There are thousands PS4 Slim who was confiscated in Ukraine when the country’s police raided what was said to be a crypto mine. It turned out that in further investigation, the PS4 was not used for mining cryptocurrency.
In previous reports, the PS4 was allegedly used to mine cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, even though it does not have a capable computing capability compared to the devices commonly used for mining.
However, in further investigation, the PS4 was used to search for rare football players in FIFA games. Precisely the PS4 was used to raise money in the game, as quoted detikINET from Pcmag, Tuesday (20/7/2021).
The money in the game is then used to buy Ultimate Team cards in FIFA to search for rare players, which can then be sold at high prices. With so many consoles in use, the chances of getting a rare card will be even greater.
In addition to the 3800 PS4, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) also seized 500 graphics cards, 50 processors, notebooks, cell phones, and flash disks in the raid.
Cryptocurrency mining raids are currently being carried out by the authorities in various countries. The latest news is from Malaysia, which has just raided a crypto mine in Sarawak.
The evidence from the raid was then destroyed by being run over by a heavy stoom vehicle. A total of 1,069 crypto mining tools such as Bitcoin and Ethereum were destroyed. The PC machine was taken in six raids that were held between February and April in 2021.
Mine cryptocurrency was raided for stealing electricity from Sarawak Energy Berhad. The stolen electricity was unmitigated in value, reaching USD 2 million. Crypto mining does use a lot of electricity, and has recently been criticized for endangering the environment because of its excessive electricity consumption.
