On July 9, the largest underground mining farm in Ukraine was uncovered — it was located in Vinnytsia. Allegedly, cryptocurrency was mined in one of the former premises of JSC "Vinnytsiaoblenergo". According to the agency, nearly 5,000 units of computer equipment were involved. The monthly loss, based on preliminary data, could amount to between 5 and 7 million UAH.
According to the SBU, the farm was created by residents of Kyiv and Vinnytsia. They used one of the former warehouse premises of "Vinnytsiaoblenergo," located on the industrial site of the joint-stock company, and illegally siphoned electricity from its networks. As a result, entire neighborhoods in Vinnytsia could have been left without electricity.
