RE: The Thief is back - UNBELIEVABLE - All steem-engine Token creators please watch your tokens!
so how exactly did someone "steal" these tokens?!
how is that even possible... did they have access to someone else's private key or what was going on?!?
No one stole anything- someone just ran an exploit on a bot that was giving out tokens automatically

oh ok... now I get it... someone just "printed" more tokens than acceptable by "community standards"...
well... I think @beerlover really deserves a dramatoken for this FUD
If you know the mechanism maybe you know the solution. How can @beerlover stop it?
You cant stop it, you cant just expect people to just ahdere to your honor system?
Imagine someone in some poor country and they have no skills but they see theres beer token they can take, to them the fact that you havent secure those tokens down is all the proof they need that they need that money more than you.. its not right but its how they will justify it so dont expect people to just respect your opened door and unlocked safe full of money ....
its called the tragedy of the commons

Tragedy of the commons
The tragedy of the commons is a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users, acting independently according to their own self-interest, behave contrary to the common good of all users, by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action. The theory originated in an essay written in 1833 by the British economist William Forster Lloyd, who used a hypothetical example of the effects of unregulated grazing on common land (also known as a "common") in Great Britain and Ireland. The concept became widely known as the "tragedy of the commons" over a century later due to an article written by the American ecologist and philosopher Garrett Hardin in 1968. In this modern economic context, commons is taken to mean any shared and unregulated resource such as atmosphere, oceans, rivers, fish stocks, roads and highways, or even an office refrigerator.
I'm sure they'll do something to safeguard the fridge!
he is working on this.
But this means more limitations for all.
SAD
that is for sure in some way "stealing"
At least as the rest of the community can't use that tokens for the fun they have with it
No its for sure not in any way stealing. If they hacked you and stole the funds they werent supposed to maybe but dude, you cant ahve an non secure system and complain when you find out tokens are missing. its your own systems fault , because it was bound to happen, you cant expect there to not be peopel wanting to find holes and exploit them, maybe you can actually explain what happened ?
Your implying that all steem engine tokens are now unsafe or somehow compromised, which they are not and its very greedy and selfish of you to throw aggroed and steem engine devs under the bus just because you happened to have a problem with your own token....
also, how many tokens were "stolen"? You realize they arent worth anything unless peopel actually buy them right? So why woudl we wanna buy stolen tokens now and fund a theif>
Soudns liek you nee dto shut down your project and start over with a new coin unless you can isolate the incidenta or tell us that not THAT many coins were "stolen"?
No, not all tokens are unsafe, only token using the same mechanism to airdrop might have a similar issue.
We had this with a few token some weeks ago, so I though some noise might help.
