“This is sabotage. If you are expanding crypto mining and filling the country with noise, then you will be sabotaging the peace. I am threatening to send you some explosives.â€This of course is not a threat to be taken lightly and therefore, Gjermund Hagesaeter, the director of Kryptovault called for immediate police involvement. Hagesaeter has since told local newspapers  that as a result of the threat against the Follum site, the company is now considering the risk this poses to their other locations too, Hagesaeter said:
“The threat has been reported to the police and these are also taking the whole issue very seriously indeed. We have also asked the police to assess whether any further action needs to be taken. The facility at Follum is located in a fenced area, so it would be difficult for any intruder to gain access but the one at Dale is far more accessible so we have warned everyone to be on their toes.â€See the full article for yourself, here. As it stands, the police investigation hasn’t located the person responsible for this threat and as a result, employees of Kryptovault have been left on high alert. Hopefully this is just an idle threat, even so though it is very concerning and has encouraged other mining firms in the area to make new considerations with regards to the security of their staff and their sites.
