Hi,

I've used HiveOs for a few weeks now, on and off, as I've been ill lately, but so far I really love everything about the OS except for one thing:

With regular intervals, my rigs suddenly go offline, and rebooting doesn't help, I have to mount a display and check what is going on, and my rigs then appear under other names - "mark3", "mark6" etc. instead of my own rig names.

They also appear to be mining, but not to my own accounts. So I can only assume that I have been hacked, and someone else is taking the profit.

At first I was running Claymore miner, I did a bit of googling and found that there were mentions online of hacking vulnerabilities with that miner, and so I changed to Ethminer, but today it happened again. I managed to get the rig back after forcing "firstrun -f" and entering my own rig credentials again, and I'll see how long that lasts.

After one of the previous incidients, while I was still running Claymore, the rig would just crash immediately after attempting to force "firstrun -f", so the only way to get the rig back online was to flash a new OS on a USB stick, and start over fresh.

I'd really appreciate input from people here about this issue - if anyone else have had similar issues, and if so, what to do to prevent against it.

Advance thanks!

personally I would just redo everything from scratch. format drives, new install, new rig ids, etc.
