Authorities in Russia and Ukraine have arrested suspects this past week on accusations of using work computers to mine Bitcoin. The most interesting case happened in Russia, where FSB secret service agents arrested multiple suspects who had used one of Russia’s most powerful supercomputers. Ukrainian authorities also arrested a professor from one of the universities in the city of Lutsk for using the institution’s resources to mine Bitcoins. The number of suspects, or their names, have not been made public. The incident is investigated by the FSB and not police because the supercomputer was located at a leading nuclear laboratory.
