maybe yes maybe no,
it's already showed in their website that their security has been breached.
go look it here : https://www.nicehash.com/
their services at this moment unavailiable because of security issue and will only stopping their service for 24 hours.
not really sure about hacked or not but all that we understand at this moment is their website currently offline.
if they can open up their website again in the next 24 hours just like what they said,
i think it would be best for you to withdraw your money as soon as possible from those exchange.
not recommend doing anything in there if they're opening it again in the future.

Do you think that's an inside job? Why those services who are holding a large amount of Bitcoin is just staying cold on their security? If that is a bank and their security have been breached, it would be an international news. Nicehash should upgrade their security to regain the trust from their customers. As of now, I do have doubts on this news why they are hacked in the middle of the uptrend movement of Bitcoin ?--which is really impressive and there is a large movement within one day--, with what's happening on Bitcoin it is okay to remain suspicious to nicehash on their "hacking" issue. You cannot even use the nicehash website to withdraw your money because they locked it for 24 hours. If you are planning to go back on nicehash after they resolve this issue ,Think twice, if you will give them another chance-- giving them another chance means you allow hackers to stole information/money/bitcoin from you again.
