Approximately 64,000 Bitcoin mining machines were hijacked, and 13 EH/s of computing power was redirected to the OCEAN mining pool

According to Bitcoin News monitoring, approximately 64,000 Bitcoin mining machines have reportedly been hijacked, involving 13 EH/s of computing power. The mining machine's computing power was redirected to the OCEAN mining pool, with earnings designated to be paid to a Bitcoin address controlled by the attackers. The attack reportedly began around 8 PM Central Time.The OCEAN dashboard showed that its computing power once approached 50 EH/s, before falling back to about 40 EH/s. CoreX Hosting was the first to raise the alarm, stating that the mining machines were switched to other mining pools without authorization. An affected operator claimed that their entire mining farm was hijacked and pointed out that Luxor's Commander mining management software was the source of this security incident; other operators reported that similar unauthorized changes to mining pools had occurred a few days prior.CoreX subsequently stated that the attack appeared to be over, with the hijacked computing power dropping from 13 EH/s to about 100 PH/s. The attackers reportedly failed to mine any Bitcoin blocks during the hijacking, thus not receiving any block rewards; affected miners permanently lost the opportunity to earn Bitcoin during the attack. The full scope of the impact of this security incident, as well as whether Luxor Commander was compromised, has yet to be independently confirmed.

Famous HYPE holders: It is recommended to store assets on-chain by yourself to reduce CEX market manipulation

A well-known HYPE holder NMTD.HL stated that centralized exchanges (CEX) may use the platform assets deposited by users for trading, and after causing user positions to be liquidated, return the relevant tokens to the original accounts or reserves, profiting from the price difference.He also claimed that most tokens deposited in CEX may face long-term price pressure because users effectively hand over control of asset prices to the platform and its management. NMTD.HL believes that this behavior has persisted for many years, continuously draining liquidity from the crypto industry, and questions whether some centralized exchanges may still have solvency issues.NMTD.HL urges users to self-custody their on-chain assets and transfer BTC, ETH, and other crypto assets to on-chain. The more users turn to on-chain trading and trade through decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid, the less opportunity centralized exchanges have to manipulate prices using user assets and target user stop-loss and liquidation positions.Centralized platforms belong to a closed system lacking transparency, and their profit model may involve using user deposits for reverse trading with users, profiting by triggering stop-losses and liquidations. For the crypto industry to achieve long-term development, reliance on centralized exchanges must be reduced, and Hyperliquid is the key platform driving the industry to realize this transition.
