Luxor’s chief executive tied artificial intelligence to a diversion of customer Bitcoin (BTC) mining capacity through Commander, while the incident left clients short of mining income.

He said Luxor would examine the incident and apologize to affected clients. The company also pledged to make up for income miners missed while their computing power was redirected.

Luxor previously said more than 10 customer accounts were affected; EconoTimes covered that disclosure in its earlier report about the Commander breach. Commander is Luxor’s software for managing mining operations, and hashrate refers to the computing power used to mine Bitcoin.
