[Approximately 64,000 Bitcoin Mining Machines Hijacked, 13 EH/s of Hashrate Directed to OCEAN Pool] According to Bitcoin News, approximately 64,000 Bitcoin mining machines have reportedly been hijacked, involving 13 EH/s of hashrate. This hashrate was redirected to the OCEAN mining pool, and the profits were directed to Bitcoin addresses controlled by the attackers. The attack reportedly began around 8 PM Central Time on November 14th. The OCEAN dashboard showed its hashrate briefly approaching 50 EH/s before dropping back to approximately 40 EH/s. CoreX Hosting was the first to issue an alert, stating that mining machines had been switched to other pools without authorization. One affected operator claimed their entire mining farm was hijacked, pointing to Luxor's Commander mining management software as the source of the security incident; other operators reported similar unauthorized pool changes several days prior. CoreX later stated that the attack appeared to have ended, with the hijacked hashrate decreasing from 13 EH/s to approximately 100 PH/s. The attackers reportedly failed to mine any Bitcoin blocks during the hijacking and therefore did not receive any block rewards; affected miners permanently lost the opportunity to earn Bitcoin during the attack. The full scope of the security incident, and whether Luxor Commander was compromised, has not yet been independently confirmed.
