Cryptominers to Bear the Brunt

As bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices jump, officials in Tehran have come up with new measures to prevent illegal use of subsidized electricity. 
According to Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, spokesman at the Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company (Tavanir), the ICT Ministry has started analyzing users' internet traffic in order to detect cryptomining. 
"We are coordinating with the ICT ministry to see network traffic of users and detect unruly cryptominers," IRNA quoted him as saying on Sunday.
