马来西亚约翰州警方于7月22日至23日进行的一次突击检查中，逮捕了3名嫌疑人，查获71台加密货币挖矿机，揭示了东南亚地区加密货币挖矿与有组织电力盗窃的深层关联1。这起案件涉及非法绕过电表，一个月内造成约€14,500的电力损失，而嫌疑人的月度挖矿收入估计在€17,200至€21,500之间1。
电力盗窃问题的规模令人震惊。根据马来西亚国家电力公司的数据，从2020年至2025年间，该公司已识别近14,000起与加密货币挖矿相关的电力盗窃案件，累计损失达€1.1亿1。这一问题呈现快速上升趋势，2018年检测到610起案件，到2024年增至2,397起1。
东南亚其他地区同样面临类似困境。泰国在2025年拆除了三个主要非法挖矿网络，查获超过6,390台机器，相关电力损失估计达€24.9百万1。老挝虽然在2021年曾授权六家公司从事加密货币挖矿，高峰期消耗约500兆瓦电力，但政府已于去年10月宣布终止向矿工供电1。此外，美国和英国曾于去年10月对涉嫌加密货币挖矿的柬埔寨王子集团实施制裁，美国当局查获价值约150亿美元的比特币1。
Malaysian authorities uncovered a major illegal cryptocurrency mining operation when police raided facilities in Johor state on July 22-23, seizing 71 mining machines and arresting three suspects 1. The operation was generating an estimated €17,200 to €21,500 monthly in revenue while causing approximately €14,500 in electricity losses per month through bypassed meters 1.
This raid reflects a broader regional crisis. Malaysia's national power company has identified nearly 14,000 electricity theft cases linked to cryptocurrency mining between 2020 and 2025, resulting in cumulative losses of approximately €1.1 billion 1. The scale of the problem has grown dramatically, with detected cases increasing from 610 in 2018 to 2,397 in 2024 1. Across Southeast Asia, the challenge extends beyond Malaysia: Thailand dismantled three major illegal mining networks in 2025, seizing over 6,390 machines with estimated losses of €24.9 million 1. Laos had authorized six companies to operate cryptocurrency mining operations in 2021, which consumed approximately 500 megawatts of electricity at their peak in 2021-2022, though the government announced it would terminate power supply to miners in October 1.
International enforcement efforts have also targeted the organized crime networks behind these operations. The United States and United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the Prince Group, a Cambodian-linked organization, in October, with U.S. authorities recovering approximately $15 billion in bitcoin 1. Despite increased enforcement across multiple nations, law enforcement agencies continue to struggle with the mobility of mining equipment and the technical complexity of combating these criminal enterprises 1.
