Artbyte is investigating a possible attack on the ArtByte Blockchain

in #artbyte6 years ago (edited)

The blockchain has been frozen for days now and no transactions are being processed. ArtByte has several security protections in place to mitigate damage.

Hello tetrahedron96,

@SteemEngineTeam would like to take the time to thank you for signing up and participating in our community. Your contributions and support are important to us and we hope you will continue to use our platform.

We plan to give back to our community members, so have an upvote on us!

Thank you.

Just received this email:

In our previous email, we made users aware of an attack against the ArtByte Blockchain that froze the chain and stopped all transactions. The attack had frozen the blockchain at block 1095079, but did not affect any users existing balance.

We have now applied a fix to the ArtByte blockchain code and provided it to several mining pools. At the time of this email, we are now at block number 1095411, and new blocks are being found as they normally would.

You can always follow the status of the ArtByte blockchain on our Blockchain Explorer site: http://explorer.artbyte.me/blocks

We will be watching this over the next 24hrs and if all is working correctly, we will send the updated code to the exchanges next.

Please check on the ArtByte Forum for continued updates.
