Terengganu警察和TNB拆除比特币采矿集团，抓住45台机器

联合行动，代号为OP Letrik，针对两个房屋 - 一个在Bukit Perpat，Hulu Terengganu，另一个位于Marang的Wakar Tapai，当局没收了采矿设备和相关设备

Terengganu police and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) have shut down a syndicate allegedly involved in stealing electricity to power illegal bitcoin mining activities in Hulu Terengganu and Marang districts. The operation on Tuesday, codenamed Op Letrik, saw the seizure of 45 bitcoin mining machines valued at RM225,000.

Terengganu警察和Tenaga Nasional Berhad（TNB）关闭了一家据称参与窃取电力的集团，以为Hulu Terengganu和Marang地区的非法比特币采矿活动提供动力。周二的行动，代号为OP Letrik，看到了价值为225,000令吉的45台比特币采矿机。

The joint effort targeted two premises—one in Bukit Perpat, Hulu Terengganu, and another in Wakar Tapai, Marang—where police and TNB personnel confiscated mining equipment and related devices, reports Malay Mail, which first broke the news.

马来邮报报道，这项共同的努力针对了两个房屋 - 武吉·帕尔帕特（Bukit Perpat），霍卢·滕伦格努（Hulu Terengganu）和马兰（Marang）的瓦卡·塔普（Wakar Tapai）的另一个场所，警察和TNB人员没收了采矿设备和相关设备。

The raids were carried out with the assistance of TNB’s Special Engagement Against Losses (SEAL) unit in a move to curtail revenue losses to the utility provider.

突袭是在TNB的特殊参与损失部队（SEAL）部门的协助下进行的，以减少对公用事业提供商的收入损失。

The syndicate is said to have been operating from residential and commercial properties, illegally diverting electricity to avoid detection and enabling 24/7 bitcoin mining.

据说该集团是从住宅和商业物业运营的，非法转移电力，以避免检测并实现24/7的比特币采矿。

The stolen power is estimated to cost TNB around RM36,000 per month, contributing to the utility provider’s non-technical losses.

据估计，被盗的功率将使TNB每月36,000令吉的成本损失约为36,000令吉，这导致了公用事业提供商的非技术损失。

No immediate arrests were made during the operation, and all seized items—including wiring tools, modified meters, and bitcoin mining machines—were brought to the district police headquarters for further examination.

手术期间没有立即逮捕，所有已扣押的物品（包括接线工具，改良的仪表和比特币矿业机）都带到了地区警察总部进行进一步检查。

Authorities are now focused on identifying and contacting the owners of the two premises, aiming to glean more information about the syndicate’s activities.

当局现在专注于识别和联系这两个场所的所有者，旨在收集有关集团活动的更多信息。

The case is being probed under Sections 379 (theft) and 427 (mischief) of the Penal Code, as well as Section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.

该案正在《刑法》第379条（盗窃）和第427条（盗窃）以及1990年《电力供应法》第37条中进行调查。

Those found guilty of these offenses could face up to five years’ imprisonment, a fine exceeding RM100,000, or both.

那些被判犯有这些罪行的人可能会面临最高五年的徒刑，罚款超过100,000令吉，或两者兼而有之。

Members of the public are urged to report any suspicious activity to the police or TNB.

敦促公众向警察或TNB报告任何可疑活动。

Highlighting the dangers of electricity theft, Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairuddin, the Terengganu police chief, stated that such actions could compromise public safety and the stability of essential infrastructure.

登顶警察局局长拿督·莫赫里·哈伊鲁丁（Datuk Mohd Khairuddin）强调了盗窃的危险，他说，这种行动可能损害公共安全和基本基础设施的稳定性。

In a separate report by Free Malaysia Today, TNB is said to be stepping up its efforts to detect and deter power theft, which has become increasingly prevalent.

在今天的自由马来西亚的另一份报告中，据说TNB正在加大努力来检测和阻止盗窃力，这变得越来越普遍。

The report notes that TNB is planning to install smart meters at all residential properties by 2024, which will help to monitor and detect any irregularities in electricity usage.

该报告指出，TNB计划在2024年之前在所有住宅物业上安装智能电表，这将有助于监视和检测用电量的任何不规则性。

TNB is also increasing its surveillance activities, and is working closely with the police to identify and arrest those who are involved in power theft.

TNB还正在增加其监视活动，并与警察紧密合作，以识别和逮捕参与盗窃行为的人。

In 2022 alone, TNB detected a total of 12,797 cases of power theft, which resulted in an estimated loss of revenue to the utility provider. The true scope of the issue is likely even broader, given that these figures only account for cases that were detected by TNB.

仅在2022年，TNB就发现了总共12,797起电力盗窃案，这导致公用事业提供商估计收入损失。鉴于这些数字仅解释了TNB检测到的案例，因此问题的真正范围可能更广泛。

According to Statista, the total amount of bitcoin mined in 2023 is estimated to be 998,128 coins. At an average price of $52,000 per bitcoin at the time of writing, the total value of bitcoin mined in 2023 is estimated to be around $51,900,000,000.

根据Statista的数据，估计在2023年开采的比特币总量估计为998,128硬币。撰写本文时，按平均每比特币52,000美元的价格，2023年开采的比特币的总价值估计约为51,900,000,000美元。

The report adds that bitcoin mining is a legal activity in most countries. However, there are a few countries where bitcoin mining is illegal, such as China and Vietnam.

该报告补充说，比特币采矿是大多数国家的一项法律活动。但是，在一些国家中，比特币采矿是非法的，例如中国和越南。

In Southeast Asia, several cases of bitcoin mining scams have been reported in recent years. These scams typically involve promising investors high returns on their investments in bitcoin mining, but then siphoning off the funds.

在东南亚，近年来已经报道了几起比特币采矿骗局。这些骗局通常涉及有前途的投资者对比特币采矿投资的高回报，但随后撤销了资金。

Earlier this year, two men in Malaysia were charged with cheating two women out of a total of $3.6 million in a bitcoin mining scam. The two women were reportedly induced to invest in a bitcoin mining scheme that was said to guarantee a 15% return on investment within one month. However, the men are alleged to have used the money for their own purposes and never engaged in any bitcoin mining activities.

今年早些时候，马来西亚的两名男子被指控在比特币矿业骗局中欺骗两名妇女。据报道，这两名妇女被诱使投资比特币采矿计划，据说该计划保证了一个月内有15％的投资回报。但是，据称这些人将钱用于自己的目的，从未从事任何比特币采矿活动。

Bitcoin mining is a process that involves solving complex mathematical problems in order to add new transactions to the bitcoin blockchain. This process is extremely energy-intensive and requires specialized hardware, known as ASIC miners.

比特币挖掘是一个过程，涉及解决复杂的数学问题，以便在比特币区块链中添加新的交易。这个过程非常强大，需要专门的硬件，称为ASIC矿工。

ASIC miners are capable of performing trillions of hashes per second, which is the unit of measurement for computational power. The higher the hash rate, the faster the miner can solve mathematical problems and earn bitcoins.

ASIC矿工能够每秒执行数万亿个哈希，这是计算能力的测量单位。哈希速率越高，矿工可以解决数学问题并赚取比特币的速度越快。

In order to maximize their earnings, bitcoin miners are constantly searching for ways to improve their efficiency and reduce their energy consumption. Some common strategies include using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, and optimizing the configuration of their mining rigs.

为了最大程度地提高收入，比特币矿工一直在寻找提高效率并降低能源消耗的方法。一些常见的策略包括使用可再生能源（例如太阳能或风能），并优化其采矿钻机的配置。

Bitcoin mining is a competitive industry, and miners are constantly vying for the best coins and the highest payouts. As the price of bitcoin fluctuates, so too does the profitability of bitcoin mining.

比特币采矿是一个竞争激烈的行业，矿工不断争夺最佳硬币和最高款项。随着比特币的价格波动，比特币采矿的获利能力也是如此。
