马来西亚因与非法比特币挖矿活动有关的窃电损失超过 1 亿美元

马来西亚国家电力供应商 Tenaga Nasional Berhad 报告称，由于与非法比特币挖矿活动相关的窃电事件，损失超过 4.4 亿林吉特（约合 1.01 亿美元）。

Malaysia's national electricity provider, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), has reportedly lost over 440 million ringgit ($101 million) due to electricity theft linked to illegal Bitcoin mining activities.

据报道，马来西亚国家电力供应商 Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) 由于与非法比特币挖矿活动相关的窃电事件而损失了超过 4.4 亿林吉特（1.01 亿美元）。

According to The Star, this theft has significantly impacted TNB's finances since 2020, with a loss of 103 million ringgit in 2023 alone, as stated by Suhai Rizain, the director of Malaysia's Criminal Investigation Department.

据《星报》报道，马来西亚刑事调查部主任苏海·里扎因表示，自 2020 年以来，这起盗窃事件对国能的财务造成了重大影响，仅 2023 年就损失了 1.03 亿林吉特。

The losses from crypto mining have increased sharply over the years. In 2020, TNB recorded losses of 5.9 million ringgit. This figure escalated to 140.4 million ringgit in 2021, followed by 124.9 million ringgit in 2022, and 67.1 million ringgit last year.

多年来，加密货币挖矿的损失急剧增加。 2020年，国能亏损590万令吉。这一数字在2021年升至1.404亿林吉特，随后在2022年为1.249亿林吉特，去年为6710万林吉特。

Earlier this year in July, the TNB reported similar figures, noting losses exceeding $755 million due to illicit Bitcoin mining activities from 2018 to 2023.

今年 7 月初，TNB 报告了类似的数据，指出 2018 年至 2023 年因非法比特币挖矿活动造成的损失超过 7.55 亿美元。

The deputy minister of energy transition and water transformation, Akmal Nasir, acknowledged that while crypto mining accounted for a small portion of total energy consumption, it had a significant financial impact on the country.

能源转型和水改造部副部长阿克迈勒·纳西尔承认，虽然加密货币挖矿仅占能源消耗总量的一小部分，但它对该国的财政产生了重大影响。

Additionally, authorities seized nearly $500,000 worth of electrical items linked to illegal mining operations and launched a crackdown on tax evasion involving digital assets.

此外，当局还查获了与非法采矿作业有关的价值近 50 万美元的电子产品，并打击了涉及数字资产的逃税行为。

The Criminal Investigation Department plans to investigate the factors contributing to these substantial losses, particularly the trends observed in 2022 and 2023.

刑事调查部计划调查造成这些重大损失的因素，特别是 2022 年和 2023 年观察到的趋势。

Illegal Bitcoin (BTC) mining involves using unauthorized electricity to power computers that solve complex mathematical problems, enabling users to earn Bitcoin. This practice can lead to significant electricity consumption, which results in theft when miners do not pay for the power they use.

非法比特币（BTC）挖矿涉及使用未经授权的电力为解决复杂数学问题的计算机提供动力，从而使用户能够赚取比特币。这种做法可能会导致大量电力消耗，当矿工不支付所用电费时，就会导致盗窃。
