We know there are crime organizations around the world especially in Russia and in China that could EASILY hack Steem at this point. What is preventing someone from accessing a steem acount with a lot of money in it through a Facebook account password for example and just wiping it clean? As Steem grows and the $$ amount grows, this will be a more lucrative venture for crime to take a look at. Any solutions?
guess the security for this system has to grow with its problems like any system.
any state of a security system is just a point in the timeline of a kind of arms race.
The Opportunity to handle this issue is hoping that the right persons find possible bugs or attacking scenarios and secure them before somebody with "destructive" intentions will use it to benefit.
So your easiest opportunity to secure the system is spend attention on people which are willing to help securing the system in a collective way and reward them.
Josh How did you bump up this post 17 cents just by being the only like?
jepp. it was like normal that i upvote my own replies to get on the top. but since the price of steem was increasing it is giving me a few cents. weird right?! but normally i dont do because of the money (in the end it is just around 1 to 8 cents and a really small amount of steempower i guess).
But i like to inspire conversations around blogposts. so i like upvote and reward comments to motivate discussions :).
