DLive Situational Announcement
Hello DLivers,
As of 10:15 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (6:15 a.m. Central European Time) the DLive upvoting management tool was compromised and upvotes were given to various posts on Steemit without our acknowledgement. We have since then fixed the problem and all of the upvotes have been reversed. We have taken extra measures to make sure our tool is secure and that something like this will not happen again.
Unfortunately our voting power has been drained and we estimate it will take at least 5 days before it is fully restored. In the interim we are looking for alternative methods to reward our live streamers and video content authors during this period.
To clarify once again, no accounts were compromised, this problem was a result of the upvoting management tool being compromised.
Thank you to everyone in our community who reported this issue in a timely fashion. The DLive Team greatly appreciates each and every one of you. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
So basically your account where @ned delegated 2m got hacked?
Or someone working for dlive lost it after having a bad day?
Why would the key holding 2M SP need to be shared within all staff? Unless it's the boss of DLive who was having a bad day, it doesn't make much sense.
@heimindanger - It was the upvoting system that was compromised.
Neither, DLive account or http://DLive.io weren't hacked.
I wonder how was that possible. The blog doesn't say much about that.
It is a security issue, and if your upvoting system can be compromised then other systems are in danger as well. I'm not judging, it's just basic IT security problem and I wonder how you plan to solve it.
@heimindanger the posting key is enough to give upvotes, which is the lowest rank but still, it is their responsibility to keep it safe.
So they change the exact moment their upvoting system, when they also change their keys?
It can be just prevention.

I'm supporting you too, so I'll trigger Dlive :)
How did it get compromised?
It’s a mystery, I suppose.
Wham! Waking up to such a news must hurt. Yet the most important point is that you were able to quickly identify and fix the cause of the problem.
Also thanks for being so transparent, Kent @wa7 and for immediately getting in contact with the community! Great move!!
Now don't worry about us - really! We're loyal and patient - best premises for a long lasting DLive experience :-) What are five days in a blockchain history? Not much...
Cheer up and happy weekend for the whole DLive crew! 💜
EDIT: Please ignore all the negative voices in this comment section. Their envy is not your problem :-)
You guys are a fucking joke. I hope you lose your delegation next time it happens.
Or this time.
How are all of these “developers” so incompetent around here? And if they’re not incompetent, they’re scammers and other shitbags. FFS...this place gets worse by the second.
@berniesanders Why is this Dlive's admin, @redjepi using upvote bots to promote Dlive's shame? Check these shit out
Good that it’s sorted now. You guys solved the problem in time, great. All the best for DLive!
Wow, i see a lot of flaming about this subject. Let me tell you something about the dlive and other platforms;
If this could happen to "dept" based platform then yes most of the people would go insane and would have right to complaint like crazy.
For example;
Utopian review the contributions and giving a promise that they will upvote if the submitted post got approved by moderator/supervisor. This kind of system, bringing liability and creating dept to your users. Under this circumstance you would feel shame and sadness because you does not even able to give any kind of upvote untill 7 days had passed.
What dlive doing ?
Dlive simply running its platform based on manual curation. No promises, no liability. Only the minus is in here dlive might lost its user for a temporarily time. Votes can be unvoted, condolences can be given, problems can be fixed and thats it. We might not like "persons" in it, we might not like their mentality of ruling in organisation but that does not mean we just wipe out every useful platform exist in steemit just because some low danger mistake happened.
My condolences @dlive. @wa7. I hope you learn "what must not be".
Nothing will stop dlive ! Dlive is the best platform on steemit ever exist. This kind of actions will never damage dlive! I am proud of being a part of it. As @datilla said YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE DLIVE !
I agree with you @ulkembetil. Love dlive. Together we strong.
And now it's basically dead.
DLive isn’t just about the software; it’s about the community. @wa7, your team is the best on Steem. Thanks for this quick statement, and all the work you guys do.
I’m happy you figured out this hiccup, and to all those saying negative things about DLive, make a post, go live, or interact on DLive’s Discord server. You will see that DLive supports plankton and minnow steemians more than any other network. Keep doing what you are doing @wa7 @redjepi @jimmylin and the whole team at @dlive.
You have made my life better. And you are making the world a better place. Thanks. 🙏
I WISH all the other big mouthed projects followed in dlive's footsteps. Rock on @wa7 🙌
Glad the situation was sorted out @dlive! I'll continue to Dlive everyday as I love streaming and supporting the community :)
Yes! You got that right @crypto-moon, we are a community and nothing will stop Dlive!
Think of this as a minor setback and a chance to rethink how you manage @dlivestarbooster. Do you know who is behind the "attack"? Looking through the votes they seem very random and I can't pinpoint to a single person that might be behind this.
Now you have an opportunity to sift out the people who really enjoy streaming vs those who are just here for the votes as I suspect that many will get demotivated by this fact and take a break until you recharge.
As for the voting solution I suggest you delegate the 22k sp you have to @dlivestarbooster and throw a couple of upvotes from there + you could use @tipu and tip away the SBD you have. And when you recharge you could keep using @dlivestarbooster do upvote selected contributors (as the 22k doesn't make that much of a difference when you got 2M so you won't miss it but it makes a big difference when you have 1k)
