RE: under investigation: some tweets poped up about security issues in Gridcoin

in #gridcoin • 7 years ago (edited)

You are aware that Martin posted his findings - in public - on his blog on August 13 (let me look, I have now Aug.16 here),

they talked about it on a security conference + it is tweeted by 'em all over on twitter with hashtag Gridcoin

and you are telling me now... what ?

    Yes. There is a difference between a sec. posting a security flaw to people most likely in the sec. community and posting a flaw in a community which the sec. flaw affects. Those sec. devs most likely aren't going to use the exploits but there is a higher probability that someone in the crypto scene will.

    And I want to stress, the problem is not that you posted the issue, the problem is that you posted it without doing some research first. A post discussing issues which can effect user's security should not be delivered in a post that is "under development". That is FUD. FUD is bad. Calm, collected, and complete information is good.

    Further, you cannot control their actions, but you can control your own. So take a minute, double check, then post. Also, I'm asking, not telling. = )
