A hidden cryptocurrency mining operation was found in the basement of the University of Wrocław in Poland. The operation was discovered when smoke emerged from ventilation ducts due to a short circuit in the mining devices. The devices were wirelessly connected to external systems via routers and were consuming a significant amount of electricity. The equipment has been handed over to authorities, who are working to identify those responsible for the illegal setup. The potential charges include theft of electricity, which has resulted in financial losses for the university. This incident adds to a growing list of illegal mining operations worldwide.
