 NiceHash has been hacked, its team said Wednesday.

Official press release regarding the NiceHash security breach
Unfortunately, there has been a security breach involving NiceHash  website. We are currently investigating the nature of the incident and,  as a result, we are stopping all operations for the next 24 hours. Importantly, our payment system was compromised and the contents  of the NiceHash Bitcoin wallet have been stolen. We are working to  verify the precise number of BTC taken. Clearly, this is a matter of deep concern and we are working hard  to rectify the matter in the coming days. In addition to undertaking our  own investigation, the incident has been reported to the relevant  authorities and law enforcement and we are co-operating with them as a  matter of urgency. We are fully committed to restoring the NiceHash service with the highest security measures at the earliest opportunity. We would not exist without our devoted buyers and miners all  around the globe. We understand that you will have a lot of questions,  and we ask for patience and understanding while we investigate the  causes and find the appropriate solutions for the future of the service.  We will endeavour to update you at regular intervals. While the full scope of what happened is not yet known, we recommend, as a precaution, that you change your online passwords. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused  and are committing every resource towards solving this issue as soon as  possible. 


  Though the team didn't disclose an exact amount, a wallet address  circulated by NiceHash users suggest that as many as 4,736.42 BTC – an  amount worth more than $62 million at current prices has been stolen.
