Around 64,000 Bitcoin mining machines, representing about 13 exahashes per second (EH/s) of computing power, were hijacked on November 14 and redirected to the OCEAN mining pool. Attackers changed the mining payout address to their own but failed to mine any blocks, resulting in no rewards collected. The attack briefly boosted OCEAN's hashrate near 50 EH/s before dropping back, and the hijacked power has since fallen by over 99%. The suspected breach involved Luxor's Commander mining software, raising concerns about mining security, though full details remain unconfirmed. Affected miners lost valuable revenue-generating time during the incident.
