I just checked my mining in the dgb.get-by.com DigiByte mining pool twice - once about 15 minutes ago, and again just a few minutes ago.

My balances were zeroed out and this address was in my control panel:

D5kHqmjyfSvDkwcAfaAbW9epAZD5ge1gD9

I never entered it. This machine hasn't been compromised, and I've never even set up the DigiByte wallet.

Also, the automatic payout was set to 1 coin. I never do that.

It looks like the dgb.get-by.com mining pool server has been compromised. Might be a good idea for other people to check and see if this has happened to them.

I've emailed them, but from previous experience, I never get responses from mining pool operators.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.
