I'm not certain he's pointing the finger solely at BTC Guild, and if he has a way to document that someone on the Guild is doing something like redirecting what equates to funds within the Guild, maybe it can be traced. Though I think it would be very difficult. Even if the funds generated were a wash, the question could be whether the offenders user account was freezable, or not.  Could other people have also been victimized? Yes, he could simply create new accounts and try again but would have to do so without the ill gotten funds generated so far. Is it possible to share a potential threat IP address within the inner circles of the Pool Operators? Could a security lesson be shared among users to help prevent security breaches? If the matter appears legitimate, can/would the Guild really do anything? Huh

It's still a matter of my word vs your word.  I could say your account has my funds, and your account should be frozen.  How could I prove it, and you prove otherwise?

I'm curious how his Ant was hacked.  It shouldn't be accessible externally.  If it is, he needs to tighten up his security a bit.

I gain nothing by inventing a story like this. The fact is a BTCG member hacked my miner and I can't see how given the cgminer conf is intact. So I was hoping for a bit of help, like it's probably been done using X, Y, Z method and here's how to help avoid that. I posted in this forum as I think BTCG has some responsibility to stop it's members behaving in this way.

Um, I disagree.  I don't see how BTCG is responsible for a user's actions.  I'm sure if there was definitive proof something could be done to the account, but there's certainly nothing BTCG can do to prevent malicious activity by one of the users.  That's like saying someone stole my car, but I managed to get it back, and Ford needs needs to do something about it.

Your ant shouldn't be reachable by anyone except those on your internal network.  If it's reachable externally, then you open yourself up to hack attempts.

Laughable!
