Robin Hood 's counterattack : 7 million were secured ethers

in ethereum •  8 years ago 

More than seven million ethers of The DAO now traded on Child DAO, with the team retaining Robin Hood curator private keys; however, while they have reduced the risk of 20K attackers only 2, still they need to identify these remaining two.


In an attempt to thwart the latest operation code smart contract The DAO, developer Alex Van de Sande, chief designer of the ethereum Foundation announced on Twitter that the development community ethereum was moving their funds out of The DAO following reports in social media they emphasized that these were being drained of network contracts.

a few days the news that millions of dollars were taken ethers contracts The DAO was revealed ago, sparking an intense debate about the best action ethereum owners might take.

Now, it seems as if the network were at the mercy of hackers again with reports of a new alleged attack.
Via social media, Van de Sande said that since Friday has been in contact with a group known as "Robin Hood," which intends to replicate the attack to prevent the diversion of more ethers.

"After some initial setbacks, the group was able to infiltrate all proposed division trying to identify the best option to run," he said. "The best proposal ended up being the 78th, as I had not many stalkers and have identified your healer".

It is even said that currently control only three of the five bills that divide them. If anyone has information on who are the other accounts notify. It is required to contact them, so that funds can be protected.

Surpassing the attacker
While the opinion on the fork, whether to do or not, it was not divided within the group Robin Hood, many were cautious about making the counter, simply because they believed that this could be devastating for the recovery efforts of the previous hacks .

After detecting that a new attack was carried out, the hands of the group were forced to go forward with the counterattack. While the attack was slow initially, after Van de Sande donated 100,000 chips The DAO, the attacker subsequently accelerated with more attackers involved.

Van de Sande said:

"Some of the most efficient hackers were able to make up 30 to 200 repeated changes ethers moving each. It became clear that if we did not do anything The DAO will drain away. "
After the Robin Hood team had touched base with some contacts known as "whales" were able to secure six million DAO chips, allowing them to overcome the attacker.

La dirección utilizada por los desarrolladores Ethereum en el ataque a Child DAO se puede encontrar aquí, donde se han acumulado más de 7 millones de etheres, por valor de más de 100 millones de dólares.

Los fondos de The DAO también se han enviado aquí, pero no está claro si está involucrado con el presunto ataque o con los esfuerzos de los desarrolladores Ethereum, donde más de 160 mil dólares en ethers se ha recogido.

Además, una tercera dirección donde los fondos DAO han amasado un poco menos de 4 millones de dólares.

¿Que sigue?

Más de 7 millones de etheres de The DAO ahora se comercian en la Child DAO, con el equipo de Robin Hood reteniendo las claves privadas del curador; sin embargo, mientras que han reducido el riesgo de 20 mil atacantes a 2, todavía tienen que identificar a los 2 restantes.

Sin embargo, Van de Sande tiene la esperanza de un contrato de reembolso. Dice:

“Tan pronto como la DAO madure, vamos a tratar de mover todos los fondos a un contrato de reembolso que será mucho más sencillo de lo que la DAO era. Por supuesto, todavía tenemos que tener mucho cuidado con ese código y analizarlo ante cualquier posible explotación“.
Aunque todavía hay una gran cantidad de ethers no reconocida en los principales ataques DAO y ataques de imitación, Van de Sande es firme cuando dice que “la mayor parte del ether es ahora más seguro… permitirá a la misma DAO comprar fichas aún en las malas divisiones y atacarlos para recuperar o bloquear el ether“.

La luz al final del túnel puede estar cada vez más cerca, pero el debate en torno a la DAO está lejos de terminar.

Umm.. This is irrelevant. The hard fork went through. Obviously you have no idea what's going on.

Tell me please.
