Not a good idea to tell people about vulnerabilities until they are fixed. You just handed malicious users a tool they could use. I suggest you delete this post until a fix is implemented.

Well, shit. I read this right after I hit the resteem button... I appreciated the information but I had not thought of THAT.
It's common sense.
Lol! That reply reminds me of the IT guy at the office I used to manage. I would call him in to fix something technical, and he would make some comment implying I was the only one in the building who would not understand what the problem was...
My reply was "You want to go do an eye exam? Whenever you are ready to trade jobs just let me know."
I am not a tech person, I have no "sense" about blockchain issues so it may be common but it bypassed me!
The vulnerability is occurring precisely at the time the modifications to the platform are made. We are working on a beta application, security will be perfected, but hackers are around the corner stalking day and night. If you have noticed, this is related to the theft of accounts.
We all have something to lose, so we must be informed of all events.
Be in good hands, that you work several hours a day to perfect the platform. Let's have a little patience, and take our personal actions for individual security that will result in the security of the platform itself.
Don't believe so. The phishing/voting botnets haven't seemed to be intentionally attacking the chain.
You have a point, that being said I don't feel anything in this post is overly revealing about the technique used here. Anyone can see these transactions on steemd or in their node logs. This is about spreading the word that there are vulnerabilities causing certain issues and the community needs help to fix. Rather than attracting wrongdoers (which are already here) it may attract some positive feedback.
