Title: Cyber Attack? Post by: Trog on October 18, 2015, 10:44:23 PM All my miners suddenly stopped hashing at about the same time. There was no power failure, power surge, or Internet problem. After power down and power up again they cannot resume hashing. No amount of diagnosis or trial and error has succeeded in my being able to bring them back online or access their IP address. I have not yet re-initialized their SD cards.
I suspect this may have been a cyber attack. Has anyone had a similar experience, or able to share information about this phenomenon? If this is a cyber attack does it mean my modem/router passwords have been compromised? As well as the passwords to access the miners? Any input will be appreciated. Title: Re: Cyber Attack?

we need more data, some miner logs would be best Title: Re: Cyber Attack? Post by: Amph on October 19, 2015, 07:10:53 AM maybe one of them failed for a second and shutted down the rest? short circuit maybe?
i doubt it is a cyber attack, unless there is someone that can do it there in RL and know who you are Title: Re: Cyber Attack?

First you have to ask yourself the question 'Why would someone target me?'. Without additional information there is little that we can tell you.

If someone was able to do an attack on a bitcoin machine I would suspect they would change mining settings, not hurt the rigs. What miners are they I don't see that? We really need to know more but I think if just miners are down, nothing else chances of attack slim. But run anti-virus on PC and anti-malaware to see if they did get to computer. Title: Re: Cyber Attack? Post by: Trog on October 19, 2015, 04:58:04 PM Thank you for input. After two days of trying various things they are up and running again. Unfortunately i am unable to pinpoint which action brought them back online. But it was not a cyber attack as i had feared. My computers were fine but the ASICs were not working, and i'm guessing it was related to the network.

Any input will be appreciated. sometimes there is microcuts on the internet connection that are hard to detect and can cause that software crash and/or stop. dunno if this is your case, but is not the first time that i suffer something like that, thats why im saying it.

I have no idea what happened there, your PC could have gotten hacked. If you dont know how much has been compromized you should change all. Especially all passwords that you used or logged in that day, the router password, PC password, delete all cookies, and install a good antivirus and clean your PC. If it doesnt help, reinstall the OS. |
