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.

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.

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
