Cryptocurrency mining marketplace loses $64 million to hackers
A cryptocurrency marketplace called NiceHash has suffered a security breach that left its bitcoin wallet tens of millions of dollars lighter. Slovenia-based NiceHash connects miners, or people selling their hashing/computer power, with people willing to pay for that power. Andrej P. Škraba, the marketplace's head of marketing, told Reuters that the company was targeted by "a highly professional attack" that involved "sophisticated social engineering." He also revealed that the infiltrators got away with 4,700 bitcoins -- or around $64 million.
