Title: Which mining pool got hacked? Post by: KimLan on March 10, 2014, 12:47:28 AM I've just seen a twitter post from @thecryptorush:
"#CryptoRush Once again We fear that a Mining Pool has been compromised. Many reports of hacking going on. Use 2FA! Protect Yourselves!" does anyone know which one/should i even be asking?

This should *probably* be in the Altcoin section since CryptoRush is an altcoin exchange, meaning whatever pool may have been hacked was most likely an altcoin pool.

1. Always set auto-payouts, at least daily if possible, so you don't lose a lot if something happens. 2. As an alternative, just p2pool and get instant payouts so that there is no central wallet to be hacked. 3. 2FA is important too. :-) Title: Re: Which mining pool got hacked?
