Australian Bureau of Meteorology Staff Interrogated Over Cryptocurrency Mining
by Vladdirescu Thu Mar 15, 2018 9:12 pm
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has placed two workers of the Bureau of Meteorology under investigation for illegal usage of the institution’s super-powerful equipment for mining different cryptocurrencies. There have been no charges yet but the investigation is ongoing.
"One possibility is that they're trying to use some of the equipment that the Bureau of Meteorology have. The Bureau of Meteorology has some very fast computers. Another possibility, though, is that they're just trying to get the Bureau of Meteorology to pay for the electricity. Mining is a very electricity-intensive task and they probably didn't want to pay for it themselves," - said Chris Berg from RMIT's Blockchain Innovation Hub.
