Topic: NiceHash hacked? - page 12. (Read 32068 times)
I actually remembered that isn't this NiceHash 2nd or 3rd time getting hacked? I know that the accounts were hacked a while back and some accounts were accessed. After that they implemented 2FA, well sad that Nicehash is gone, forever.
The bigger guy of the two (the one doing all of the talking) looked like he could hardly contain himself. At times it looked almost as if he was smiling, as if he was thinking "I cannot believe we are getting away with this, we are going to be so f**king rich".
The smaller dude looked just as guilty, they probably think they are being clever with all these updates and videos to throw everyone off. If they did get in touch with law enforcement the first ones they should be looking into is those two clowns.

The "smaller dude" as you put it, has already served time for hacking/malware. I have no judgement whether he was a part of this or not, although I would assume he is a decent coder ( hey, at least his father hires good developers!). I know if I were to try and use someones login credentials to pull this off, I would have certainly tried for his, at the very least for the comedy factor.
Someone did try to get into my account a month back, luckily, I withdrew everything before they could get in. Also, 2FA is a good thing to do.
so much hate for nicehash...
It was the easiest way to setup mining and bring in BTC. I can't think of any other simpler way to download 1 software, and bring in 100 dollars worth of bitcoin every month on a 5 year old gaming computer.

100% correct. When I first started mining I used Nicehash while I learned the ropes. I realized it was more profitable to mine to a pool directly but didn't know enough. Still though, I can see why so many people continued to use it. You didn't have to mess around with a bunch of different altoin exchanges or following the markets to be sure the the coins you were mining weren't crashing, or checking to see if difficulty and hashrate was rising at an extreme rate. Strangely you don't see this much hate for Nemos Miner, Multipoolminer, Zpool, or anything else. I can assure everyone that ZPool is more responsible for killing profitability than Nicehash.
Dude I know. I have some fiat in coinbase that I put right after LTC doubled. Not much barely 4 digis. Such terrible timing and now I'm scared shitless but I'm keeping them in coinbase until BTC or LTC drop again. I don't want to buy at these prices and coinbase exchage rate is ridiculous too.
No one on these sites with access to wallets has heard of 2 factor authentication? I mean even if you get someones credentials you would have to get access to the fido key or to google authenticator or some variation of that. That message needs to be broadcast that if you fail to do basic things to protect customers you will be sued into the ground...
Sound's like an inside job if you ask me. All these recent hacks always have such weak excuses too, like "someone stole someones credentials". Well first thing that should not be enough for someone to be able to hack in and send all the BTC off, there should have been several layers with each one limited to what it could do.
I have to agree. Devs should never be allowed access to live systems.
Where I used to work only support engineers were allowed to login to customer sites and only
with express permission and supervision including logging. Devs were never allowed, they could
watch and advise but never toch the keyboard.
It wasn't all about security, support engineers had specific training on what not to do when logged in to a customer
site, devs are used to a lab where anything goes.
Their security is really trash if one stolen credential could move all the BTC. They should have implemented proper security measures like 3-of-5 multisig for that amount they are dealing with daily.

Excactly what I thought.

watched that livestream... fu.k them all
simple message..if we dontrecover that BTC...u get nothing....
yeee...we lost all..., they never can get that BTC back from that adress......

It was pathetic. So someone stole a dev credentials, logged in and directed the payment system to his account. They call that a "highly sophisticated attack"...

I always avoided Nicehash for the most part, but did mine a few of the up and coming coins on there once in awhile. I didn't have a large amount in my wallet, but no one likes to see this happen to anyone and it always seems like the same weak security excuse. If they even did file a report with the authorities, they should all be subjected to intense scrutiny from law enforcement over the next several months as I just have a bad feeling one or more of their employees is involved.

I used nicehash for a long time and very disappointed with this situation. I never keep coins on the domestic purse surfer. This allowed me to lose a little, but I'm more worried about the fact. We got confirmation that no one in the world of cryptocurrency are not protected from hackers.
They just announced a live stream in 1 hour. I'm getting the popcorn ready

well the main problem with nice were it was too powerful
it could kill a coin very easily if someone give too much power, kicks the diff to the moon, then leave..
and normal miner will be try to mine the new block like eternity.
but for new people in crypto - it makes life much easier, no doubts!
will see how it goes now

Exactly this. The moment they went offline everybody was able to see the impact on the big and knows coins. ETH was obviously not that affected but Zencash global hash decreased big time. Also Electroneum nethash went from 200 MH/s to 60 MH/s.
Killing newly created coins is an entire different issue with them. I hope people get their BTC back but if NH would suffer and lose some hashrate that would be a good thing for everyone.
I was another nice hash user, but this really opened my eyes , they were bad for the small miner , even if they come back I will never sell my hash there again.

This is a huge black eye for Nicehash. I hope they can find a way to recover the stolen funds. I know this hurts a lot of us. I concur with the comment about Nicehash being the most stable place to mine so I hope they can recover from this, but this really hurts Nicehash and it's customers. They have to do better.
