About 600 computer servers used to mine bitcoin were stolen in Iceland in a series of large-scale robberies in December and January, according to police.

The servers were taken from data centres in Reykjanesbær, near Reykjavik airport, and Borgarnes on Iceland’s west coast.

About 10 people have been brought in for questioning, and two Icelanders in their 20s and 30s are being held on suspicion of involvement in the thefts, a police spokesman for south-west Iceland told AFP on Wednesday.

He suggested the thefts could be linked to organised crime, saying: “Everything points in that direction.”

Link to the article please? How can atleast ten people do such a crime so flawlessly? They should have had a hard time carrying those computers in a single event. I feel sorry for whoever owns the mining site. Lesson learned, security should be also a top priority when you have these kind of business because the threat is very intense.
