Around 600 powerful devices designed for mining bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been stolen from Icelandic data centers. Police Commissioner Olafur Helgi Kjartansson: “This is grand theft on a scale unseen before” The powerful computers are estimated to be worth around $2 million, and are used to generate cryptocurrency that at the time of this writing are worth $11,500 each. Police are tracking high energy consumption areas across Iceland in hopes the thieves will turn the stolen servers on, which could potentially lead them back to their location.
