Mexican Cartels Accused of Using GPUs for Cryptocurrency Mining

A recent investigation by Tom's Hardware has shed light on an unusual trend in Mexican cartels' use of graphics processing units (GPUs) for cryptocurrency mining. The report suggests that these cartels are allegedly using GPUs to mine Bitcoin, Monero, and Tether.

This revelation raises concerns about the actual purposes behind the utilization of these graphics cards, especially given that traditional Bitcoin mining has not significantly involved GPUs in over a decade.

The implications of this discovery could point toward illicit activities rather than traditional mining techniques. The mention of Bitcoin alongside Monero and Tether suggests a potential misallocation of resources.
