Recent theft of mining pool accounts, mostly EAC and DOGE

[Mikellev]

Hi there,

we had a lot of time today to find more information about the recent "hacks" of accounts in lots of pools.
It seams that its always the same IP.

Everytime the user logs in, with username + pw + pin, so no bruteforce or something. He MUST have the login information from other pools.

So maybe some of you can get some more info.........

So ALWAYS use different Username + PW + PIN on any pool you mine! Or use 2 fact auth if possible.

All goods words of advice. I don't recommend leaving much coin with the pools. Auto-withdraw at least daily and check your wallet. And please, always mine to a wallet you control directly.  Don't mine to a Cryptsy address.

Lazy idiots that use the same login to multiple sites, I'm not really feeling sorry for them.

To me, I normally get more coins in a pool that in P2Pool.

Very dependent on your PING to the ip and Kh/s
