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!
1. Use 2FA on HiveOS web site
2. Remove any port forwarding on your router or install fail2ban on HiveOS
3. Change user default password
4. Use an antivirus if you use Windows
5. Do not use any phone app who ask your HiveOS API key (I see some and there are not official)
