About 13 EH/s of Bitcoin Hashrate Hijacked and Redirected to OCEAN Pool

November 15: According to a post by hosting provider CoreX Hosting on X, a large number of Bitcoin mining machines were hijacked and pointed to the OCEAN mining pool, with proceeds sent to the attacker's address bc1qphukp9rjfc4rcej7erpm9ae20xmtspw8pcddrr. The host said the address's hashrate reached about 13 EH/s at one point and later fell to about 100 PH/s; the attack appears to have ended, but the program involved has not yet been disclosed. On-chain data shows the address has not yet received any payment.
