This morning the dlive account was hacked and started to vote on a lot of posts.
It was quickly noticed and fixed and all the votes have been reversed now.
The voting power was sadly drained so it will take some time to get back to 100%.
But besides the voting power drain, no damage was caused by this hack. No funds were transferred. No permanent damage caused.
It just shows the incredible security feature regarding different keys of this blockchain.

An announcement by Dlive about the hack here
Blockdeals, rewarding bargain hunting on the STEEM blockchain.
A new project on the steem blockchain was announced this morning. It's called Blockdeals
Link to the intro post: here
It already has a minimal functioning website so you can check it out.
It's a website where people can be rewarded for finding deals, bargains and all sorts of discounts on the internet.
What a cool idea!
It seems that every week now we have new initiatives on the 'blockchain of opportunity'.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.
We build Steemify a notification app for your Steemit account for iOS.
Get it Here:
▶️ DTube
▶️ IPFS
Wow thankful to those who noticed it and notified. It would have been so bad to loose dlive account now that more people are getting much more use of it.
I have a question does the dlive account on steemit vote all post available on the dlive platform?

@exyle there is another project called @steemhunt which has been doing this for a while. Not getting any love though which is a shame because their UI is much better...

It would be sweet if you actually replied to some of the comments that your followers leave and not just continuously post and siphon more rewards. As someone trying to become a top witness you'd think some more interaction with the people whose votes you want would be a top priority. Guessing I'm just talking to myself here

I apologize. I was a bit harsh yesterday. But I still stand behind the idea that there is too much “me” thinking here and not enough “us”. If we could just put a little More effort into the collective group, we could all thrive.
Cheers

no worries mate - and i totally agree! As long as everyone is engaged a bit on maybe one sub community and help e.g. newbies of a certain genre or language or whatever it should help. I am not saying am the pope but I try to support a bit the #deutsch community and all around #music a bit and other people I think their content is great. I have the feeling you are one of these users here we need more of.

Hey exyle love your Channel and appreciate all the time and effort you put into it! Thx a lot! Do you know Appics Ico ? This is a project on the Steemblockchain as well! It's going to be working like Instagram. So you will be rewarded for posting photos just like on Instagram. I think this project deserves more interest maybe you can show it to your audience? Please let me know what you think of the project. 😀
I did a review on this ico already if you want to take a look at it.

That’s what I love about Steemit platform. If anyone hacks and throws votes around, you can reverse the votes. Obviously the steemit founders thought it through. With only Steem power being damaged, give it a few days and everything is back to normal. This hacker also left his footprints, you can check whom he voted for...However, if Dlive has a huge SP, as they do over 2 mil. they have lost a lot of curation rewards as well as authors of posts whom they would have voted for. Wow...

Thanks so much for the shout-out. The community reaction has been extremely positive and we will move onto the next phase of the project. And when we have enough SP saved up we'll launch into the general public.
Until then will continue to develop the platform.

Wow, you are right. All hail the many different keys! Imagine it completely draining the voting power. whoever did it must have been spreading the votes far and wide so that the accounts they really wanted to reward werent noticed

The different keys are great indeed. And that seems like a good theory. Maybe it would have been smarter to sneak in the occasional self-upvote. But who knows? Glad not much damage was caused.

Everyone just got to be more discrete with their keys. If Dlive can be hacked then individuals have to be more careful. I'm glad that it's been fixed now.

But come to think of it...instead of reversing the upvotes and letting it to waste, why didn't they just leave the upvotes and patiently wait for their voting power to grow back to 100% . Doesn't make sense to me.

another sweet update @exyle, well I think dlive somehow may experience this, too many accounts have trusted them with their private keys, and I think the best they would be is to certainly be more careful, I haven't used dlive, but Im certain it's a great platform.

Hi Exyle, I really like what you mean to the platform, also like it that you met up with other people from Steemit before. I am posting for nine months now and really like it here, recently I decided to start interview people,
I met up with @juliank over a month ago for the first post in the series and really would like to interview you if you are up for it? the interview is foccused on traveling because that's what my account is about.
have a look if you like;

We should know how it was hacked so that it can b avoided. It makes me not want to go on Dlive because I do not know what to do to not get hacked. We all want to know what to do to not be hacked and we need solutions or things can get worse if we are only shown problems absent of solutions. Thanks for sharing, hehe. I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold.
