RE: Everything has been stolen... (Update)

in #club1002 days ago

Good wakeup (no pun intended) Now I'm thinking to change passwords regularly for other accounts as well. @impersonal says there is a way they can get into an account that doesn't require passwords. Something about the block chain code itself be vulnerable? I'm sure it was the stored up SBD that caught their attention. How they got in is a puzzle though.

Sort:  

Did you ever change your password or after you came back?

Many acvounts been hacked this year. I heard about it at least 3 times. Most of them "abandoned". The guess/thought is all keys were stolen during the hardfork (inused waiting for the right moment), leaks/bugs in tools used like botto.steem or others is possible as well.
With me I believe it was a link (voting for a "witness" in the comment section "ad"). Thinking back it was what felt weird.

Changes in the platform can leave a door open as well. We had the site "down" two or three times this year.

I doubt it will be announced if it goes wrong. Government, banks, brokers all announce it afterwards if at all.
