Service disruptions[edit]
On December 6, 2017, approximately 4,700 Bitcoins (US$64 million at the time of the hack) were stolen from NiceHash allegedly by a spear phishing attack.[9] Due to the open and transparent nature of the blockchain, the security breach received an influx of attention as the stolen sum and movement of bitcoins were visible to anyone on the internet.[10]
On December 21, 2017, Marko Kobal resigned as the CEO of NiceHash.[11] On that day, the company also re-opened their marketplace after the December 6th hack.[citation needed] NiceHash has decided to reimburse the affected users through the Repayment program, 100% of the stolen funds were reimbursed on December 16th 2020.[12]
Controversies[edit]
NiceHash's founder Matjaž Škorjanc is a creator of malware Mariposa botnet, which infected over 1 million computers with Butterfly (mariposa in Spanish) Bot. The goal of Butterfly Bot was to install itself on an uninfected PC, monitoring activity for passwords, bank credentials and credit cards. Slovenian police arrested Matjaž on charges of distributing the malware in 2010. Matjaž was found guilty and had served four years and ten months in a Slovenian prison. On June 5, 2019, US law enforcement opened a case in the operations of the Mariposa (Butterfly Bot, BFBOT) malware gang.[13] FBI has moved forward with new charges and arrest warrants against four suspects including Matjaž Škorjanc.[14]
