The mining service Nicehash was reportedly hacked today, with over $60 mln in funds stolen. Users report that funds have been moved from their own internal Nicehash Bitcoin addresses to a single Bitcoin address controlled by an unknown party.

The company released a statement on Reddit, saying:

“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.

NicehHash wrote that they are gonna restore the users amount of btc and gonna increase the security.
Don't know how is this gonna work!
