Question to owners of hashing powder on Hashnest - can you login into your account?

One of their servers was "compromised" - so access to account (at least mine) is blocked

I have 108 x S9 online at antpool..... and now I am locked out.
They are forcing everyone to change passwords and redo the 2FA.
But I have tried to change passwords but error in password -- I think I did put in the right passwords though....
Hmmmm.... count to 10 and take a deep breath.

There was a notice:
============
Security Notice

      Dear user

      Because of account security threats detected, we recommend you reset your credential information.

      Because one of our old server has been compromised, part of important account security information has been leaked (includes: properly encrypted password, user email, user phone, etc). Even through the encryption is very strong, we still strongly recommend you change your account password AND google auth.

      As for now, a thorough investigation and evaluation was carried out, the core service systems have been checked carefully one by one, no more threat was found. Your account is still safe after this update.

      Any other accounts use the same password should also be updated.

      We apologize for the inconvenience.

Well that sucks.

and it is a lot of money to not have control of.

109 x 13500 = 1,471,500 gh at 0.00006345 =

93.3666 btc x 4109 = 383,643 usd

Lets us know how this works out.

I was able to recover my small holdings by using a second mac mini I checked

Thanks Phil for the insights... the BTC farms are the main revenue generator for my group's mining operations.

This farm at Antpool are all S9 v1 miners - early batch - very finicky and lots of babysitting, part of the mining operations I manage for my group.

Worst case scenario... we will switch to our backup pool, f2pool tonight.

Only consolation is the S9s are on PPS+ mining (PPS with TX sharing) so we can move to f2pool continue mining without the pain of moving out of PPLNS.

There is another 155 x A721s farm but that mining at KANO land.

NOTE: the passport site is completely down now with error 502 - the S9s are still mining though from cgminer console.
