馬來西亞的TNB報告說，與非法加密礦山相關的電力盜用增加了300％

根據TNB的數據，與加密相關的盜竊案的數量從2018年的600例上升到2024年的2,397。

A report by national power utility Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has revealed a staggering 300% surge in electricity thefts linked to illegal crypto mining activities between 2018 and 2024. The revelation underscores the severe impact of unauthorized mining operations on the country's power infrastructure.

國家電力公司Tenaga Nasional Berhad（TNB）的一份報告顯示，與2018年至2024年之間非法加密礦業活動有關的電力盜竊案激增了300％。啟示強調了對該國電力基礎結構的未經授權採礦操作的嚴重影響。

According to TNB's data, the number of crypto-related power theft cases surged from 610 in 2018 to a staggering 2,397 in 2024. These cases were uncovered and shut down through joint operations carried out by TNB, the Energy Commission, police, anti-corruption officials, and local councils.

根據TNB的數據，與加密相關的盜竊案件的數量從2018年的610起飆升至2024年驚人的2397。這些案件被發現並通過TNB，能源委員會，警察，警察，反腐敗官員和地方議會進行的聯合行動關閉。

In a statement, TNB emphasized that these actions have "safeguarded the stability of the power grid and signaled the company's ongoing efforts to combat theft and maintain a sustainable energy future."

TNB在一份聲明中強調，這些行動“保護了電網的穩定性，並表示該公司正在努力打擊盜竊和維持可持續的能源未來的努力”。

The utility also received 1,699 complaints from members of the public regarding illegal crypto mining activities between 2020 and 2024, averaging 340 reports per month. The rise in public complaints underscores the growing awareness about the issue and its effect on the community.

該公用事業公司還收到了1,699名公眾投訴，內容是2020年至2024年之間的非法加密採礦活動，平均每月有340個報告。公眾投訴的增加突顯了人們對問題及其對社區影響的越來越多的認識。

To counter these threats, TNB has rolled out smart meters across affected areas. These devices record daily electricity usage and transmit data via radio-frequency waves, aiding in the detection of unusual consumption patterns that may indicate illegal mining operations.

為了應對這些威脅，TNB在受影響地區推出了智能電錶。這些設備記錄了每日電力使用情況並通過射頻波傳輸數據，從而有助於檢測可能表明非法採礦作業的異常消費模式。

Furthermore, TNB is exploring the implementation of AI and predictive analytics to enhance theft detection and optimize enforcement strategies.

此外，TNB正在探索AI和預測分析的實施，以增強盜竊檢測並優化執法策略。

In response to the escalating issue, TNB is proposing stricter penalties under the Electricity Supply Act for individuals found tampering with electrical systems. The proposed penalties could include fines of up to 1 million Ringgit ($232,000), 10 years in prison, or both.

為了應對升級的問題，TNB針對發現對電氣系統篡改的個人提出了嚴格的處罰。擬議的罰款可能包括最高100万林吉特（232,000美元），10年監禁或兩者罰款。

Discussing the issue further, Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), mentioned that TNB suffered losses of approximately 520 million Ringgit ($120 million) due to electricity theft, largely attributed to illegal crypto mining.

進一步討論了這個問題，刑事調查部（CID）主管Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain提到，由於電力盜竊，TNB遭受了約5.2億林吉特（1.2億美元）的損失，主要歸因於非法礦業。

These operations are typically set up in rented shops, warehouses, or residential homes to avoid detection. The syndicates install ventilation systems, air conditioning, and soundproofing to muffle the noise from the mining rigs while tapping directly into the electricity grid to bypass meters. In many cases, a single illegal mining operation consumes as much power as an entire residential block.

這些操作通常在租用的商店，倉庫或住宅中設置，以避免被發現。集團安裝通風系統，空調和隔音劑，以消除採礦鑽機中的噪音，同時直接挖掘到電網到旁路電錶。在許多情況下，一次非法採礦業務消耗的功率與整個住宅區一樣多。

Syndicates are known to relocate every few months to evade raids and maintain anonymity. In one case reported in February, Malaysian police discovered a Bitcoin mining setup after a house explosion caused by an illegal power connection.

眾所周知，眾所周知，每隔幾個月搬遷一次逃避突襲並保持匿名。在2月份報導的一個案件中，馬來西亞警察在由非法電力連接引起的房屋爆炸後發現了比特幣採礦設置。

Investigators found that the explosion, which injured two people and damaged two houses, was triggered by a short circuit due to the excessive power use for mining. The incident occurred after the 38-year-old suspect, a restaurant worker, allegedly connected an electrical cable from a nearby transformer to his house to power Bitcoin mining rigs in his basement.

調查人員發現，由於過度使用採礦，爆炸炸傷了兩人並損壞了兩座房屋，這是由短路觸發的。該事件發生在這位38歲的嫌疑人，一名餐館工人之後，據稱將電纜從附近的變壓器連接到他的房屋，並在其地下室的電力幣採礦鑽機上連接。
