Nicehash got "hacked" [1] for 60m (at the time). Some claim they just "hacked" themselves, but nobody really knows. For some reason, people kept using them, but I wouldn't trust their stuff at all.
A lot of GPU miners really believe that since they are paid in bitcoin, they are mining bitcoin. Just look at any FB group of GPU miners. It goes to show that a lot of people really don't understand what they are doing at all, which is kind of neat actually... all this stuff still works even though the underlying infrastructure is run by people who don't even fully understand it.
