THE ILLICIT CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING THREAT the machine running it, especially when the mining operations are not tuned appropriately. It takes significant work for CPUs to number-crunch mining hashes and computers working this hard for any length of time will physically heat up, run their fans at higher speeds, and consume more electricity. The more machines at a specific location or facility running cryptocurrency mining software, the more pronounced the power consumption and heat production, which in turn raises the propensity for mechanical failures. Cooling fans are one of the components most prone to mechanical failure. When they fail, the lack of ventilation can cause physical damage to the CPU and motherboard. Increased CPU usage due to mining operations over any period of time can also decrease the expected overall lifespan of the hardware. Enterprises with illicit mining operations occurring on their networks may find that they need to purchase new hardware sooner than they anticipated. Even legitimate mining has its physical consequences when performed without proper controls in place. In isolated cases, local power utilities have been forced to enact rules prohibiting unauthorized cryptocurrency mining to stabilize the power supply and prevent fires. This was the case after squatters were found to have turned an abandoned apartment into an unauthorized mining facility that investigators later described as one of several rogue cryptocurrency operations39. According to an April 2018 news release from the Chelan County, WA Public Utility District, (PUD) THE MORE MACHINES AT A SPECIFIC LOCATION OR FACILITY RUNNING CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING SOFTWARE, THE MORE PRONOUNCED THE POWER CONSUMPTION AND HEAT PRODUCTION, WHICH IN TURN RAISES THE PROPENSITY FOR MECHANICAL FAILURES. open to the chilly spring air likely keeping the cryptocurrency mining equipment cool. Investigation showed no one living in the apartment. CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING’S IMPACT TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS Another major concern is the impact illicit mining has on an enterprise’s ability to conduct its business operations. If a computer is already engaged in even moderately CPU-intensive tasks, the other tasks take a performance hit as the mining software consumes whatever remaining CPU cycles it can steal. From an enterprise perspective, it may also violate policies that prohibit system resources from being used for any kinds of non-work-related, processor intensive activities, like engaging in mass computing projects such as Folding@Home40. Illicit mass mining activity on enterprise systems can be disruptive and incur costs for additional bandwidth, utilities, the loss of critical assets, and the cost of IT labor for restoring the network and affected systems. 39 40 https://www.chelanpud.org/about-us/newsroom/news/2018/04/03/pud-board-acts-to-halt-unauthorized-bitcoin-mining https://foldingathome.org/ ...[S]taff reviewing meter readings saw power use at the Wenatchee apartment jump 20-fold in a month.
