I started to think nicehash pushed the wrong version because of their massive overreaction over a broken link.
I have also shared this view with communities on the interwebs.

1. Sourcecode of nicehash is available on github, no changes since Mar 1, 2021.
2. A PhoenixMiner version was pushed to auto-update-enabled clients after this date, without github commits. Nicehash claims it was to disable the old phoenixminer.
3. Claiming you can check github for the source-code is crap. We can't know if they pushed some wrong url without committing to github.
4. IF you installed the 5.5d from spam posts in this forum, I would suggest exactly the reciepe NiceHash is suggesting to everyone who ever used phoenixminer.

Makes you think... but we don't know.

My suggestion to everyone keeping nicehash installed: Disable auto-update.
They can basically install and run anything they want on your machines with this feature enabled.
Nicehash can sign binaries as much as they want, I don't trust this feature from this source.


kthxbye.
