在2018年至2024年期间，马来西亚的电力盗窃数量飙升了300％，这主要是由于非法加密矿山的兴起

这些案件是在包括电力公司Tenaga Nasional Berhad（TNB）的联合行动中检测到的，该国最大的能源委员会和警察。

The number of electricity thefts uncovered in Malaysia between 2018 and 2024 is said to have increased by 300%, largely driven by the rise of illegal crypto mining in the Southeast Asian country, The Star reported on Monday.

这位明星周一报道，在2018年至2024年之间，马来西亚发现的电力盗窃数量增加了300％，这在很大程度上是由于东南亚国家非法加密矿山开采的兴起所驱动。

The cases were detected in joint operations that included electricity utility Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), the country's largest, the Energy Commission and the police.

“The operations have successfully shut down illegal mining setups, and detected cases rose from 610 in 2018 to 2,397 in 2024,” the utility said in a statement to the outlet.

该公用事业公司在向该商店的一份声明中说：“这些业务已成功关闭了非法采矿设置，发现案件从2018年的610个增加到2024年的2,397。”

Crypto mining is the process of discovering new blocks, verifying transactions and adding them to the blockchain that underpins digital assets. The process, especially for proof-of-work blockchains such as Bitcoin (BTC), is energy intensive, providing an incentive for unscrupulous miners to steal, rather than pay, for the electricity they use while reaping the reward in the form of new tokens for completing the process.

加密挖掘是发现新区块，验证交易并将其添加到支撑数字资产的区块链中的过程。该过程尤其是为了进行诸如比特币（BTC）之类的工作证明区块链，它是能源密集型的，为不道德的矿工提供了窃取而不是付款的动力，而不是付费，同时以新的代币形式获得奖励，以完成该过程。

The largest leap in numbers occurred after 2020. Between 2020 and 2024, the average number of crypto-related electricity theft cases was 2,303 per year, TNB said. The number of public complaints also rose due to increased awareness of how to report the illicit crypto mining activity, TNB added.

TNB说，数量最大的飞跃发生在2020年以后。在2020年至2024年之间，与加密相关的电力盗窃案的平均数量为每年2,303例。 TNB补充说，由于对如何报告非法加密矿业活动的认识，公众投诉的数量也增加了。

Crypto mining is not banned in Malaysia, but anyone who tampers with electrical installations is liable to a fine of 1 million ringgit ($232,720.50) and up to 10 years imprisonment.

马来西亚没有禁止加密矿山开采，但是任何具有电气装置的人都可能被罚款100万林吉特（232,720.50美元）和最高10年的监禁。
