Following an explosion in Puncak Alam, Malaysian police seized nine Bitcoin mining rigs and additional equipment. Investigators found that the electricity connections used for mining were illegal, emphasizing a concerning trend of energy theft linked to cryptocurrency operations.

Since 2018, Malaysia has reportedly lost about 3.4 billion Ringgit (763 million USD) due to illegal Bitcoin mining activities. Authorities urge the public to report any suspicious mining operations to combat this growing problem.
