PS4 Consoles Used as FIFA 21 Game BOTs, Not Cryptocurrency Mining Farm
Resulting from an electricity spike 
in the Ukraine city of Vinnytsia, over 3,800 PS4 consoles being used for FIFA 21 Game BOTs to sell accounts were recently discovered by Ukrainian authorities after initial reports inadvertently indicated they were part of a cryptocurrency mining farm. 
Before jumping to the article, earlier this month Bloomberg.com covered another massive fraud in a 10 Million Dollar XBox Gift Card Cheat for those interested in how it all went down... it's quite an interesting read! 
Back on topic: To quote from ITC.ua (via Delo.ua) on the 3,800 PS4 Slim BOT Farm update, roughly translated:
It turned out that game consoles in the former premises of Vinnytsia were used to pump bots for FIFA, which were later sold.
Yes, in the game FIFA 21 there is a mode FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), where the user can gather his own team from any player and play it online against his friends. The most powerful and effective football players can be in one lineup. But for this you need to get special cards with players.
They can be obtained in two ways: either with the help of lootboxes (but without a guarantee of a positive result, even after spending a large amount of money), or through a boring grind (repetitive and low-risk actions aimed at gaining internal benefits). To get the desired cards of the leading players, the player must spend many hours on the virtual field, and then the game is not fun, but disgusting.
You can solve the problem of boring grind with the help of bots. Most likely, this is what the farm in Vinnytsia was doing. The bots automatically played the required number of hours and currency on the consoles, and then the account was sold in special online stores.
In such stores you can find ads for the sale of FIFA accounts with ready-pumped teams. For example, on one...

Jamvm PS4: WIP Port of JamVM (Java Virtual Machine) by Sleirsgoevy
Following his PS4 7.5X Jailbreak 6.72, 7.02 & 7.50-7.55 Online Hosts and PS4 Offline Account Activator Reimplementation, developer @sleirsgoevy (Twitter) recently updated his Github repository with Jamvm PS4 which is a work-in-progress (WIP) port of the open-source JamVM (Java Virtual Machine) free implementation of Java 1.6 runtime for the PlayStation 4 Scene to enjoy! 
Download: jamvm-ps4-master.zip / GIT
This comes proceeding early PS4 Blu-ray Java Homebrew, a PS4 BD-J FAQ, a Blu-ray Disc Java Game Preview, the Ukko's Journey Blu-Play Homebrew Game release, another Blu-Play Game Development update, The UFO Game! Blu-Play Game release and a Blu-Play DOOM I Game C / C++ to BD-J Port.
From the README.md, to quote: jamvm-ps4
This is a (possibly incomplete) port of JamVM, a free implementation of Java 1.6 runtime, to the PS4. It successfully runs a "Hello, world!" from normal classpath (not bootclasspath).
A port of some Java-based game would be great, but it's unlikely to happen until...
