A recent report from Cisco says 22% of crypto mining traffic comes from college campuses, more than likely caused by the free electricity provided by colleges. Campuses have little ability to enforce regulations prohibiting crypto mining as well. According to BREAKERMAG, "College education came in second as a source of mining traffic after the energy and utilities industry."
