AIRBNB GUESTS MINE $100,000 IN CRYPTO AND LEAVE OWNER WITH $1,500 ELECTRIC BILL ๐งพ
An Airbnb host in North Carolina made a shocking discovery when she noticed her electricity bill had spiked to over $1,500 in a single month. After checking her rental, she found that her guests had secretly installed around 10 cryptocurrency mining rigs, running 24/7 for nearly three weeks.
The operation reportedly generated over $100,000 worth of crypto, while leaving the host with the massive utility bill and hardware strain on her property. She was only reimbursed after filing a claim with Airbnb, which covered her losses but also required her to update her house rules to explicitly ban mining equipment and other high-power electronics.
โช๏ธ This case highlights a growing issue: some short-term rentals are being exploited for covert crypto mining, leaving unsuspecting hosts with inflated bills and potential damage to their properties.
