A security breach redirected the computing power of about 64,000 Bitcoin mining rigs, totaling roughly 13 exahashes per second, to a single attacker-controlled mining pool called OCEAN. While Bitcoin's protocol and consensus rules remained intact, the affected miners' output was diverted without their consent, causing lost earnings that cannot be recovered. The attacker did not mine any blocks or receive payments, and most machines were quickly redirected back or disconnected. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in mining pool settings that can reroute mining work without altering Bitcoin's core blockchain rules.
