Hackers exploited a vulnerability in the LuBian mining pool’s random number generator, which was used to create private keys, leading to the theft of 120,000 $BTC. The systematic nature of the random number generator allowed hackers to identify a pattern. This pattern made it possible for them to breach the security measures in place. As a result, the mining pool suffered a significant loss of Bitcoin. The incident highlights the potential risks associated with predictable algorithms in cryptocurrency mining operations.
