Between Dec. 5, 2017 and Jan. 16., 2018, Advania was stolen of 600 graphics cards, 100 power supplies, 100 motherboards, 100 memory discs, and 100 CPU processors somewhere in Iceland. That's almost 2 millions $.

Due to the climate and the price of energy Iceland is often use for big mining farm and that's where the robbers decided to act. 2 people were arrested, one escaped and today we learn that they probably found a new lead. At least weirdly enough China's autorities seized the same amount of hardware.

How they find the hardware ? They monitored the electrical grid and saw a spike of consumation, a irregular usage in the area of Tianjin. That easy.
