INTERWEBS — The crytocurrency mining marketplace NiceHash has been hacked — for around $62 million in Bitcoin. <br /> <br />After multiple reports of users complaining about emptied NiceHash wallets and a 12-hour service outage for 'maintenance,' NiceHash was nice enough to announce that there had "been a security breach involving NiceHash website." <br />The company didn't disclose how much was stolen, however a wallet address passed around by NiceHash users suggest as many as 4,736.42 BTC were jacked, according to CoinDesk. <br /> <br />The NiceHash team urged users to change all their passwords. What great advice. <br /> <br />NiceHash is currently working with authorities, but the chance people who lost money will get any of it back are slim to none. Shout out to Mt. Gox! <br />NiceHash was started in 2014 as a marketplace for miners to rent out their hash rate to others. <br /> <br />The market cap for BitCoin is currently worth over $225 billion. The cryptocurrency's price has been skyrocketing all year, with the price currently sitting around $14,300.
