Some Russian nuclear engineers employed at the Russian Federal Nuclear Center were arrested after they reportedly tried to mine Bitcoin using one of the largest supercomputers of Russia. This supercomputer could perform around 1000 trillion calculations each second. Due to security purposes, the supercomputer did not have an Internet connection. So the engineers tried to connect it online in order to mine Bitcoins, but unluckily for the engineers, they were caught while doing so.
