FlashDrive and Chia cryptocurrency

Chia cryptocurrency is based on Proof Of Space, and distribute tokens according to a mechanism called plotting. In the last weeks, we've seen a lot of new accounts trying to launch and operate Chia miners from FlashDrive's infrastructure. Most of those accounts where created with fake/stolen credit cards for the sole purpose of getting Chia coins for free.
