Bitmain cryptominer MAC address spoofing

Business Security Questions & Discussion

Hello,

I've just noticed something very strange, and it's been confirmed by Bitmain support.

MAC addresses are being randomly generated outside the manufacturer's ranges.

This MAC spoofing is very surprising for this type of device.

Does anyone have an explanation? Canaan seems to have its range. So who is the exception and why?

Have a nice day.

Vincent
