Europol says alleged crypto miner made millions from stolen electricity

Europol arrested a 29-year-old accused of making $2 million from mining crypto while passing on the bill to hacked cloud providers.

The Russian spy ring monitored and sabotaged critical infrastructure for the invasion of Ukraine in exchange for crypto.

The former chief of Ukraine’s cyber security agency allegedly embezzled $1.7M in state funds and must hand over $1.5M in USDT and BTC.

Alongside rising rates of crypto crime, Ukraine has also lost $81 million in taxes in the past 10 years through unregulated crypto exchanges.
