My lisk is gone, do not let it happen to you!

[vincentvincent]

Last week I found out that a lisk address that I had was emptied.

I found out that is was caused by NOT having an outgoing transaction.

I am  sure this happened to me. I still can login to the Lisk address and the thief left some marginal funds in there that I tried to send out.

But when I do that the lisk nano wallet complains it cannot send out the funds with the error message:
Invalid sender public key

The problem solution is described here:

Looking with the LISK blockchain explorer I can see at least 4 of these type of thefts:
https://explorer.lisk.io/address/762745598824670449L is the address of the hacker

If you look into the adresses that have send LISK to the hacker address you will see that all 4 funders there was no outgoing transaction before the hacker stole the funds.

Only one of the adresses is mine. The other 3 are from people I don't know.


My LISK was hacked around beginning of december. The security blog that I mentioned was written on 21 dec 2017.....

I think there were mentions of this before as well when lisk just launched.

It sucks that it happened, but good that you take the time to raise awareness.

I think they're on it today and developers were trying to fix whatever the issues you're going to push to the Lisk's support team.
And I heard the same issue before with another currency and they fixed it as soon as possible.
