The attack on Steemit stolen about $85 000
In the night from 14 to 15 July, a decentralized social network Steemit was attacked by: hacked about 260 accounts and stolen a little less than $85 000 in tokens Steem and Steem Dollars.
“Attack at the moment, stopped. User accounts and wallets are not at risk, and we hope soon to restart the website Steemit in normal mode. All damages to the victims of the attacks users will be compensated in full”, — said the administration Steemit.
The management of social networks already called the police and the FBI for joint investigations. Partner Steemit — cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex is also aware of the attack and will help in the investigation.
Recall that a few days ago, the price of the cryptocurrency Steem started to grow at a record pace and 14 July exceeded $4.6.
Earlier, one of the founders of the social network of the Week Scott said that, unlike similar projects on the blockchain, Steemit offers a fundamentally new solution. When working with the social network uses a token Steem traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. Using equity profit like mining bitcoin, the blockchain can distribute the values between those who publish content, and voting. The higher valued the publication, the more you can earn its authors and voting.
