CoreX Flags Bitcoin Mining Power Hijacked to OCEAN
The detail that submitted work can still earn rewards while the flagged address shows no payouts is the part worth dwelling on: it suggests the disruption targets where hashrate is pointed rather than whether it is compensated, which complicates any simple detection story. For miners and pool operators, the practical exposure is control over hashrate routing, not just payout accounting. With the entry point unconfirmed, whether this was a targeted exploit or a broader misconfiguration remains the open question, and clarity there will shape how much of the mining sector treats it as a one-off.
