The vast electricity-stealing computer farm shut down by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) last week wasn't mining cryptocurrency as first reported.
Instead, the set-up was farming in-game currency for Electronic Arts' (EA) FIFA 21 football game, according to a new report.
The SBU had said they had found 5000 computers on site, stealing NZ$370,000 worth of electricity each month.
But the 3800 PlayStation 4 consoles seized puzzled some observers as they aren't best designed for crypto mining. One of the photos supplied by the SBU also seemed to show ejected game discs from a bank of the machines.
