NiceHash: security breach leads to 60 million lost - Iceman is behind?

A dark day for crypto currency miners, NiceHash has been hacked. Closely to 60$ millions (4,736.42 BTC) have been stolen while the bitcoin is crossing the 14k$ mark for the first time.













The hacker's bitcoin address cleary shows the steal of  4,736.42 BTC in a window of 48 hours: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1EnJHhq8Jq8vDuZA5ahVh6H4t6jh1mB4rq




NiceHash users are furious by the time of reaction of the team. It took about 24 hours to realise that big amounts have been stolen.

I've contacted a member of Iceman and knowing this security breach for some reason he explained that NiceHash actually owned their users bitcoin wallets in order to save transactions fees and collect unclaimed BTC. This issue leads to a massive security breach which allow access to all NiceHash wallets. He claimed that by reverse engineering of their miner client, Iceman group was able to access their API. Is Iceman really behind this attack?

NanoCore developper busted and senteced for 33 months

  A hacker who was arrested and pleaded guilty last year—not because he hacked someone, but for creating and selling a remote access trojan that helped cyber criminals—has finally been sentenced to serve almost three years in prison. Taylor Huddleston, 26, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, pleaded guilty in July 2017 to one charge of aiding and abetting computer intrusions by building and intentionally selling a remote access trojan (RAT), called NanoCore , to hackers for $25. Huddleston was arrested in March, almost two months before the FBI raided his house in Hot Springs, Arkansas and left with his computers after 90 minutes, only to return eight weeks later with handcuffs.   This case is a rare example of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) charging someone not for actively using malware to hack victims' computers, but for developing and selling it to other cybercriminals. Huddleston admitted to the court that he created his software knowing it would be used
