The above post (from the forum user stef_stef) probably contains malware! Do not download anything from the links in his post!

Our GitHub account was terminated (not a big surprise after they deleted some other mining software repos but we kind of liked the functionality there). Again, no explanation was given - they just don't want to host popular mining software it seems.

Our new host is up and running. You can find the latest version of PhoenixMiner (as well as older releases and beta versions) here:

As always, make sure to compare the checksums of the downloaded files with these from the first post of this thread. This is a good idea for any download and takes mere seconds to do.

It very much did contain malware as I woke up and found I had been TeamViewer?(not sure) hacked and they transferred out 2.34 BTC (but left 0.27, wonder why?) among other coins. Don't be dumb like me, just thought I'd share, sad day for me. There isn't anything that can be done about it I'm guessing?

All in all I am grateful they didn't take everything but it does hurt quite a bit... the shock is wearing off and now feeling a bit sickly.

That is really bad! The best thing you can do is try to check the destination address and if it is in some of the big exchanges, you try writing them to at least block the account of the scammers.

The malicious post was deleted by the admins without 30 minutes or so, and we reported it as soon as we noticed it. The github account that it linked was created just yesterday. Please, please, do not download anything PhoenixMIner-releated from posts that are not from our account! And always compare the checksums - it is quite easy to do and can spare you a lot of trouble. Additional good security practice is to always keep your private keys encrypted, and not on the same machine from which you are making the transactions.

Thanks so much for the reply. This is the Transaction ID efeac5d2fbefd892d81491bd9f706d2f6aef21201d1ce0ed35f1a526dde58e08
They got more then just the 2.34 BTC, that was just from my Exodus wallet. I'm feeling soo poorly and stressed I can't think straight at this point but if someone could help me get it back I'd be happy to split it with them. Total was around 180k stolen...
