64,000 Bitcoin Miners Hijacked to Redirect 13 EH/s to OCEAN Pool
Key Facts
1Approximately 64,000 Bitcoin miners were hijacked and had 13 EH/s of hash power redirected to the OCEAN mining pool.
Crypto Briefing reported that approximately 64,000 Bitcoin miners were hijacked, with 13 EH/s of hash power redirected to the OCEAN mining pool. The incident began at approximately 8 p.m. Central Time on November 14, 2026, causing OCEAN’s reported hashrate to jump sharply to 50 EH/s before settling at around 40 EH/s.
The attackers gained unauthorized control over device settings to point output toward a single payout address, though they reportedly earned no funds as no blocks were mined during the hijack. Affected mining operators suffered irreversible revenue losses, with Luxor Commander software suspected as the potential vulnerability used to gain access to the mining fleets.
