Luxor’s CEO described the attack that redirected customer hashrate through Commander as using a complex AI-assisted attack vector and said the company would review the incident and apologize to clients.

Luxor had previously disclosed that the incident affected more than 10 customer accounts. The company committed to cover clients’ missed mining revenue for the period when their hashrate was diverted.

Commander is Luxor’s mining management software. Hashrate is the computing power used to mine Bitcoin (BTC).
