    Official press release regarding the NiceHash security breach
    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.

    Yup I think the stolen BTC was worth $66 million when it occurred, about the same as when Nortwest Mint went under for $50

    I understand you and fellow stackers had a chat about it in your thread were it was under the radar and hidden and not well broadcast
    an event of this nature should not be deep in a thread that an individual may have no regard for
    and now possibly 90 more views and more aware people.
    Thank you

    I'm of to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of OZ!

    How does this thread differ from the last?

    If you comment on the previous thread it will bring it back up to the top again...
