Cryptocurrency mining in Higher Ed

[Jason Fried <friedj () SUNYSUFFOLK EDU>]

Good morning, I wish everyone well with the start of Fall semester!

Does anyone have literature or resources they have found value in regarding crypto mining activity and incidents at 
higher ed institutions? While we may not be R1 with high performance computing as a focus, there are reports of mining 
performed using very innovative methods. We would like to ensure we are proactive, have the proper checks in place to 
monitor appropriately and so on. Thanks in advance.



Regards,



Jay
