A North Carolina Airbnb host, Ashley Class, was hit with a shocking $1,500 electric bill after guests used her rental property to mine cryptocurrency. The guests, who initially appeared to be model tenants, secretly brought in at least 10 computer rigs to conduct their mining operations, earning $100,000 during their three-week stay.
The incident came to light when Class reviewed outdoor camera footage, revealing the equipment used for crypto mining. Although the guests resisted paying the exorbitant bill at first, Airbnb intervened, and they eventually covered the costs.
Following this ordeal, Class added a new rule to her Airbnb listing: no cryptocurrency mining. The incident has sparked discussions among other hosts, many of whom are now updating their own rules to prevent similar situations.
