Ukraine warehouse packed with thousands of PS4s was actually a FIFA Ultimate Team bot farm (Eurogamer)

A giant cryptocurrency farm in Ukraine that contained thousands of PlayStation 4 consoles was actually a FIFA bot farm.

 

Last week the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced it had shut down what was reported as a cryptocurrency mining farm that contained an incredible 3800 game consoles. Images showed racks of PS4 Slims (some claimed the photos showed PS4 Pros) - either way not the ideal hardware for a cryptocurrency farm.

 

It turns out the PS4s were being used to grind FIFA Ultimate Team.

There is a real possibility that this was part of a money-laundering operation as there is precedent:

Counter Strike was being targeted by fraudsters to clean up stolen cash says US game maker.
