so now think twice before sending your hardware to datacenter...
From what I read it wasn't hosting but it was brand new equipment.
So I was thinking it was their own and not clients pieces of hardware.
If it was then I would think these hosting companies should be offering their customers some sort insurance against robbery from now on. Undecided

Picking a reputable place to have your miners hosted helps as well (Especially now that most centers are at capacity and people are desperate to find hosting). There's a risk of theft anywhere, but ultimately you're best just mining at home anyways if it's possible and your electrical costs are good enough.

Undoubtedly, these have been showing up here in for sale ads from low post count new accounts posting from foreign countries who can't even speak English properly.
