Steemit introduces new security system

in steemit •  8 years ago 

After hundreds of accounts of the blockchain social network Steemit fell prey to cyberattackers, the company decided to strike back, introducing what it claims a “revolutionary” solution.

According to Steemit co-founder Dan Larimer, if a user account is hacked, it can be recovered with any of the keys you have used over the last 30 days. To do this, you need a person who will be able to confirm your identity to the blockchain. As noted in the comments to the article, this concept “goes hand in hand with Steemit being a social network platform.”
