Scammers have made $263K in BTC, LTC and BCH. By all means contact law enforcement if you are victim of this.
This is kinda funny. We've all heard complaints about dusty miners looking a bit used. And now Bitmain sold your farm's location to crooks.
Remember when those farms were robbed in Iceland? The stolen asics turned up in China, ready to begin their journey all over again.

i think it was an ex employee or employee with access to the systems, database, dns etc.
Everything is so correct that the s11 specs might also be correct and when released the diff will kill all the s9 and below models

Im furious because why shitmain doesn’t make an official email about this scam to warn the customers and state that their database was hacked
i knew they got hacked, they were trying to cover but this is a big scam they have to release some official statement about the database hacked

?: but the email has personal information
?: how is this possible?
Bitmain : We have forwarded this information to the team that is investigating the recent hack of our database. This could contribute to making our database more secure for the future. It could also just be a phishing attempt from someone pretending to have what is being offered.
Anyway, please only trust emails from www.bitmain.com or www.bitmaintech.com and remember that Bitmain never requests payment through email. Any pending payment would be shown on your www.bitmain.com account.
?: offer email is [email protected]
Bitmain : yes, we know
Bitmain : We are now monitoring our system to ensure the security of customer information.
Yup. Me too. Pretty messed up. Truth is....no one will even pursue these scum. They will also make a LOT of money off of unsuspecting idiots.
They could be pursued, if you are willing to spend an amount more than they scammed you for. These are simple "hacks" that can easily be traced. I'm sure anyone pulling off scam emails like this aren't CIA-grade operatives and will most likely easily be traced by the right company. If you have been scammed, all the more reason, please do not hesitate and passively dismiss issues like this. Make an effort and go to your local cybercrime agency. Do something about this so they don't do it to more people. Help make crypto better.

If everyone can retweet bitmains tweet regarding this scam maybe we could all help to reduce the damage this hack is causing. 36btc is so wrong.
Anybody knows how do scammers achieve sending email from Bitmain domain?

Making a non "@gmail/@yahoo" email is quite simple. Ex. I have an email account [email protected] where the spam goes.
And the hacker just bought a domain that sounds like the original, then he made an email account using that domain.
Example: bitmain.com, the hacker bought bitmaintech.com then he created [email protected] as the fake administrator email account to scam noobs.
They didnt spam my new bitmain account, so it seems true that they only have older customer details, i remember this hack last year, it was ridiculous that it happened in the first place, they make a killing yet they cant protect customer data.
U sure it is bitmain because I did not get it...
Nice! Bitmain at it again! Selling email and contact lists. Gotta love it! Man not only can they screw over individual coins but also their customers =D this gets better and better
yeah 36btc so far and counting.

fuc**ng sake, i will broke their bones if i found them, which i do no of course...4600usd out of window...
i must admit hey are really clever...
That seriously sucks man. I admit i got pretty amped up when I saw it, but realized that everything about this process was outside of Bitmain's way of doing business. That and the 79Ths claim. That's what really tipped me off. It's just not possible while pulling 1400 watts or anywhere near that. they called me from official phone number of bitmain!! i checked that..and when i received email and it was from [email protected] (i cehcked previous emails from them) i said ok, something private because i bought 10 miners before..al;so they had ALL my informations..like adress, name, surname, phone number, street, and emails, everything...fuc**ng sake, i will broke their bones if i found them, which i do no of course...4600usd out of window...

I received an email from [email protected] with contents as shown attached. It announces a presale of a purported Antminer S11 with 79.5TH/s capacity @ 1500W for $2300. Is this real? If not -as I suppose-, how did scammers get my personal information? Has Bitmain security been compromised?
