[testz]

No

they have been hacked again.

your steem will be still there, by the time you login, the value will be down 70%...

How do you know it is a hack? And why are people buying like stupid even when hacked?

[bhokor]

it looks quite serious someone have found a way to add ilimited steems to the post, look the video (i can not confirm if this is real or fake)

From the comments

Take a closer look at the video! They're not upvoting over and over. The blockchain just isn't recording the votes.

Look at the top entry, that unbelievably-overpaid makeup one: it has 487 votes to begin with. Now fast-forward to the end. It still has 487 votes. Even after having been clicked a bunch of times.

Wow, that's unfortunate for those folks who were trying to post true content and some got lucky to get fake votes and reward.
I must say, nicely done finding this exploit. Hope they will fix this or revert some fake votes, if possible.
Otherwise, people who are already using it might loose faith. After all, application is hosted on some server, even though backend is decentralized/blockchain. It can still be vulnerable, be hacked in future, isn't it?!

[favdesu]

nope. it is the second hack !

No

some accounts did not change their passwords, besides the billion warnings posted all day. the hacker cleaned those leftovers today.
steemit.com is now in maintenance mode

[bcsuisse]

than its the second hack by the same person?

i heard that there is an exploit on the steem website.

so hack + exploit.

it has to be something serious this time if they couldnt do the read only mode again.

Click this to go read our discussion over in Altcoin Discussion. This Steemit retarded shit is looking doomed:

Bitshares dude claims maintenance is due to hacker stealing more funds, so there is a second hack:

Don't you love this corporate run block chain shit.

Why are the fucking passwords (and private keys for signing transactions) stored any where except on the user's private wallet on the user's computer. Probably because they wanted the system to be easy to login from any computer the user might change to. So probably they have a process where you can take control of your private key if you are sophisticated enough. But this is what happens when you make a way for users to earn and hold $1000s and give them a default private key mgmt that stores it on the corporate server. Another reason that their retarded quadratic skewing of payouts in order to make all users jealous and irrational, has another bad effect that it weakens security.

I thought steemit.com is disabled while its upgrading server.

How was it that a bunch of other people were able to login and to post?

I've attached screenshots to show you.

They are posting and voting direct to the blockchain using the cli_wallet.

So we are expected to log in every day to see if our funds are safe?

Strange project...

[Joni22]

why these coins sitting in high esteem?

My account was in the first round of hacking - but looking at it, it looks fine. I just can't log in with my master key.

From what I understand, someone posted a page with an XSS exploit - and anyone who browsed that page became compromised. My account got frozen on Friday (the first round). So I think I'm OK if only I could figure a way to get back in.

I think they are doing a hard fork at 15:00 UTC today and hopefully that resolves things.

Try after the fork, and there will probably be more announcements, but as I understand it at this point, you need to contact steemit support and they will help you recover the account.

They're not responding to emails, but I think that might be because they are inundated. Hopefully they'll allow access via Reddit after the fork.
