On the night of November 14-15, 2026, about 64,000 Bitcoin mining machines were hacked and redirected to the OCEAN mining pool, diverting 13 EH/s of computing power. Despite the scale, the attacker gained no Bitcoin rewards as no blocks were validated during the attack. The breach likely originated from compromised mining farm management software. Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped 9.13%, easing pressure on miners and increasing potential yields, highlighting the network's resilience despite the cyberattack.
