Dear NiceHash users!
Unfortunately, there has been a security breach involving NiceHash website. We are currently investigating the nature of the incident and, as a result, we are stopping all operations for the next 24 hours.
Importantly, our payment system was compromised and the contents of the NiceHash Bitcoin wallet have been stolen. We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken.
Clearly, this is a matter of deep concern and we are working hard to rectify the matter in the coming days. In addition to undertaking our own investigation, the incident has been reported to the relevant authorities and law enforcement and we are co-operating with them as a matter of urgency.
We are fully committed to restoring the NiceHash service with the highest security measures at the earliest opportunity.
We would not exist without our devoted buyers and miners all around the globe. We understand that you will have a lot of questions, and we ask for patience and understanding while we investigate the causes and find the appropriate solutions for the future of the service. We will endeavour to update you at regular intervals.
While the full scope of what happened is not yet known, we recommend, as a precaution, that you change your online passwords.
We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused and are committing every resource towards solving this issue as soon as possible.

$60m bitcoin locked vs constant sell pressure by miners... could be worse.
Are you telling me that they didn't use cold storage?
4700 BTC stolen ? 
could be a scam I mean nicehash team

There is an easy and working solution for situations like this, just contact bitfinex.
1) We need one more exchange, let's call it nicefinex.
2) Everyone who lost some "money" will be credited with nfx tokens.
3) Start nfx market at nicefinex.
4) Enable margin trading.
5) Start printing some magic "cryptofiat", this annoying phase can be skipped by simply adding numbers to order books.
6) Pump it.
7) Tadaa, all those dues are payed full in what, three weeks.
8.) WTF just happened?
9) I don't care, btc is going up.
edit: who ever you are, congratulations, you have the best miner there is haha!
edit2: xmr pump has something to do with this?

4700 BTC sounds like a lot but it's probably just a few days or 1 week worth of nicehash accumulation. I doubt this will mean the end for nicehash, but definitely take a massive confidence hit and reduced user numbers.
Any small-time player who lost money can quickly make it back while mining over the next few days - without nicehash algo swapping, there are some incredible profits available for those to chase them.

Somewhat glad that I was only mining with my 1060 for 1 day and had a $3 balance. I can call this a failed experiment. Sorry for others who most likely lost their hard earned cash. I hope they find the hackers and give them the beating they deserve.
yep that sucks nutzzz I had 30 L3+ on there waiting for prohash to fix their issues =(
Damn. So all the balances did in fact get "stolen".
Now to wait 24 hours and see if they plan to compromise users at all.

What a bunch of idiots for holding that much in hot wallets. Not surprising though given their amateurish history.
Also, based on the screenshot, Tanja knew she can't say anything and let the PR team come up with something which suggest that it's a hack. I mean if it was a technical issue, she wouldn't have straight orders not to say anything imo. Also, what technical issues a multipool could have that can't be solved within hours and one that involves moving funds to one address?
Edit: nevermind, hack confirmed.
No joke... looks like the end of the road for Nicehash. Hope you all moved your earnings out of their wallet before this happened.

I think its a mistake
Interesting Facebook Post - https://www.facebook.com/NiceHash/posts/2012288672323602?comment_id=159500037993147&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D
If this is real and this was a planned outage, it's an absolute shit-show from a customer service standpoint to not make any announcement that NH will potentially be down for 2 days.

Many of you already know that the site reddit spread information about the alleged hacking of our service. We hasten to assure everyone that your bitcoins are safe and sound. And we are the largest pool in the CIS countries are not going to close, but rather increase our presence in the regions.
In connection with the increased number of those wishing to mine the crypto currency at our sites, as well as rent or lease out the capacities for mining, we conduct PLANNED technical works, which are to be completed on Friday morning. From December 8, the service will work in the standard mode.
Since this is the most massive update in the last two years, we have indeed suspended all Bitcoin payments, and the funds were taken to a safe place. After the works - everything will be returned to their places. Please do not panic!
Sincerely yours, NiceHash.

WklTribune has reported that they've been in contact with NiceHash CEO Andrej Nabergoj, who said that NiceHash is "assessing the situation and working with the authorities. We'll have a public statement shortly".
If authorities are involved that is not a good sign!!
