The short answer
Curfew and sabotage are announced mechanics. The store describes avoiding security systems while sabotaging competitors, and warns that competitors can also sabotage you. Exact hours, penalties and countermeasures are not verified.
Day and night can change your options
The Q&A says day and night offer different opportunities and points to the curfew as part of that design. The store connects curfew, security systems and sabotage against rivals.

Sabotage can work in both directions
The store explicitly warns that what you do to competitors can also happen to you. This establishes exposure to interference; it does not reveal its frequency, repair cost or the equipment needed to prevent it.

What to check before taking a risk
Read the in-game warning and record the time, location, security response and any lasting effect. Kingy has not tested a safe route, a way to avoid penalties, or a money-making sabotage strategy.
Until release-build evidence is available, treat this as a description of the announced system. It should not be used as a promise that a particular action is safe or reversible.
