Airbnb user uses rented property to mine Bitcoin and leaves electricity bill of R$ 8 thousand

The consumption occurred in just three weeks, during which a guest used the residence. After investigating, she discovered that the tenant used the property to set up a Bitcoin mining operation.

She only understood the source of the problem after checking the external security cameras. In the footage, the guest is seen loading ten high-performance computers as they left the property. These devices, used for cryptocurrency mining, explained the excessive energy consumption.
