Malaysian authorities seized 41 cryptocurrency mining machines during a raid in Teluk Intan, targeting illegal mining activities suspected of electricity theft. Police Chief Bakri Zainal Abidin confirmed that the officers recovered these mining machines at three locations between January 9 and 10, and no arrests have been made so far. Although cryptocurrency mining is legal in Malaysia, illegal electricity theft is a criminal offense. In past crackdowns, police have destroyed thousands of mining machines to curb theft and prevent safety hazards such as fires caused by system overloads.
