Mexican authorities seized a suspected illegal cryptocurrency-mining operation in Tlautla, Puebla, finding 300 GPUs, 80 medium-voltage terminals and eight satellite antennas in a remote mountainous building. Investigators are examining whether the facility stole power from a nearby hydroelectric plant. The discovery is the fourth crypto farm found in the region since early last year, following three sites near a hydroelectric plant in northern Puebla. Residents said the equipment's noise was audible from one kilometer away. Security analyst David Saucedo said operations of this scale require technical expertise and substantial funding, while Chainalysis expert Caio Motta said comparable sites often operate where electricity is exceptionally cheap or where organized crime enables power theft and mining infrastructure. The new account identifies the location as Tlautla and dates the regional discoveries from early last year, differing from earlier reporting that referred to Tlaola and placed the fourth discovery since 2025.
