I got hacked today somehow by a guy, that created a user called mocrosoft, and installed zenmap, then changed the cgminer.conf file to his own.
I fuckin forgot to look after his adress where he pointed my rig too.
I say, Bamt is not safe to use, cause its backdoored or has some shit code in it. Lost a whole day of mining.
EDIT: I use BAMT 1.2
Will change that immediately, but the old doesnt have drivers for the r9 290, right?
there is no such thing as an official BAMT 1.2. lodcrappo mentioned something about trusting copycat BAMTs.
your conclusion that BAMT is not safe to use is bullshit. The author of BAMT indicates that one of the first things you should do is to set a root password.
i've been using BAMT for a little bit under 2 years and have never had my rigs hacked into. But of course, I've been using the one and only original BAMT, not some shit copy off some other forum that someone threw out there.
I'd say the fact that the worst thing that happened is that you lost a day of mining is probably the best thing that could have happened, instead of having your entire network hacked.
Have a nice day.
