Waking up today morning i found my Baikal A2000 was not hashing. It turns out it was hashing for some one else on nicehash with BTC address:
14c2ewCFeW1VYtyhLFWB6rFJV36ZysEWUf
https://www.nicehash.com/miner/14c2ewCFeW1VYtyhLFWB6rFJV36ZysEWUfit seems some one out there has auto scanner searching network for Baikal A2000 and inputs password of Root:
i only lost 8 hours of hashing on 1 machine.
here are the following mistakes i made:
1) I put the Baikal A2000 in DMZ (nicehash was not working so i figured DMZ might fix the issue)
2) I kept the default user and changed the password
3) disabled firewall on my router
Just a headsup to people. to not show Baikal A2000 to internet ( Public IP)
In all honesty it was my own stupidity and complacency.
