Malaysia busts bitcoin mining farm disguised as a 'haunted house'

  • —The farm operated in an abandoned building in Bukit Beruntung, with its entrance hidden by overgrowth
  • —Walls were sealed with bricks and wooden planks, with rows of ASIC miners inside
  • —Utility TNB estimated losses from illegal power use at 4.57 billion ringgit
  • —Malaysia has found 13,827 illegal mining sites between 2020 and August 2025
Why it matters: Malaysia's crackdown on illegal mining cuts shadow hashrate and raises risks for operators stealing electricity.
