Police said that the mining operation was unlawfully attached to the school's power system.
A former Cohasset, Massachusetts, town employee was set to appear in court on Thursday after being named a suspect in what authorities called a cryptocurrency mining operation that was"unlawfully attached" to the electrical system at Cohasset Middle High School.
The investigation into this case began over a year ago, in December of 2021, when detectives were called to the school for a report of a possible cryptocurrency mining operation that the director of facilities discovered in a remote crawl space under the school, police said. The director told detectives that he noticed electrical wires, temporary duct work and numerous computers that seemed out of place during a routine inspection of the school, according to police. The department said it found the set up was a cryptocurrency mining operation that was"unlawfully attached to the school electrical system."
