[amoslem348]

Tencent’s Security Joint Lab has notified users of the Neo (NEO) blockchain of a potential bug that allows hackers to remotely steal tokens native to the blockchain. The vulnerability affects the popular Gas (GAS) tokens. The team notified the crypto and blockchain community via the popular micro-blogging website of Weibo.

It's specifically related to use of RPC. Here's something to be safe of before a patch (as mentioned by yubioh).

1. Upgrade to the latest NEO-CLI client;

2. Try not to use RPC function, and manually change the address of “BindAddress” to “127.0.0.1”;

3. If RPC must be called for necessity, try changing the port number of RPC, leveraging the https-based port of JSON-PRC, or putting up a firewall.

This may be a fatal blow to NEO, but I have not seen any dramatic fluctuations in NEO on the market. NEO has also fallen sharply due to the decline in bitcoin. I think this kind of vulnerability can be avoided, it will not affect the price of NEO. Only Bitcoin affects NEO.
