Another Illegal Mining Farm Discovered in Makhachkala: Power Theft in Residential Zone

Rosseti Severny Kavkaz personnel have uncovered yet another unauthorized crypto-mining setup in Makhachkala, located inside a multi-unit building’s garage. Authorities seized 43 rigs allegedly tapping into the electrical grid without proper metering, causing a substantial power load.

Analysts confirm that this type of violation is increasingly common in the area, with multiple similar incidents reported since the start of the year. Residents frequently complain about outages, which could be linked to these covert mining racks. Meanwhile, honest consumers often shoulder the costs of stolen energy when bills are redistributed across the community.

Electricity officials emphasize that enhanced oversight will enable quicker detection of unregistered hardware. Their ultimate goal is to reduce financial losses and ensure stable power for neighborhood dwellers.
