Six hundred bitcoin mining computers stolen in Iceland

600 bitcoin mining computers stolen in Iceland across four burglaries in the Reykjanes peninsula, worth approximately £1.5m. 11 people arrested so far; police describe it as highly organized crime and 'the big bitcoin heist', the largest theft of its kind in Iceland. Stolen computers could be used to mine bitcoin and sell it, potentially generating more value than the hardware itself.
