🚨 64,000 Bitcoin miners hijacked overnight.
Around 13 EH/s of hashrate was silently redirected to the OCEAN pool, with payouts set to an attacker-controlled address. OCEAN's reported hashrate spiked to ~50 EH/s before collapsing back to ~100 PH/s.
The twist: the attackers walked away with NOTHING. No blocks mined, zero payouts. But the affected miners permanently lost the revenue from those hours. That hashrate time is gone for good.
Suspected entry point is Luxor Commander fleet-management software. That link is still UNCONFIRMED, and Luxor has made no statement. Bitcoin's protocol itself was never touched.
The lesson is bigger than one incident: the chain is secure, the infrastructure around it is the weak link. Anyone running fleet-management software should be auditing access right now.
