RE: WARNING: Easy Potential Social Engineering Hack! #steemit -#hack + Temporary Solution

in #steemit9 years ago (edited)

I don't really understand the hack. What is the point of buying a reddit account? what you you referring to when you say people make mistakes? and what you mean make a withdrawal? you didn't really summarize. What is the the reward of this hack?

Sort:  

To withdraw money to bittrex you need to enter their name into a form. So a spelling mistake 'bitrex' for example, would send money to the wrong account.
I could create several accounts (either using cli_wallet or by buying reddit accounts), with common ways to make spelling mistakes of bittrex and poloniex. Waiting for people to make mistakes (which they have already) and accidentally send money to my account.
