RE: Utopian.io Hack - May 3rd - May 4th 2018. No Wallets Or Keys Compromised.

in #utopian-io7 years ago

When there's no server handling tokens or keys, and that your website build is hashed and verified, then there's nothing to hack. Hackers would need to hack individual users.

Sort:  

@heimindanger we had background processes in place to broadcast actions required for our system to work on behalf of the users. Without having an offline token for that, I don't see how could we have achieved such functionalities. Do you have a suggestions for this?

@heimindanger we had a review system in place, where users could make a poll to verify the quality of the post and the final score stored in the blockchain for the original post, among with other similar functionalities. You can't just request for a user consent on every single operation that makes the site functional.

Working with compromises is always hard. Any established social media platform has a solid Oauth system in place and we should focus on how we could implement the most secure and customisable tool, while not hurting the user experience. I believe there is room for improvements on that. Hacks happen everywhere and at any level, it is always a question of how you could minify the consequences. Obviously we were not ready for this.

I think every one will agree that in all the systems we can find some problems wich we can use for overself. Hackers are trying to find probelms in systems and to make 100% secure system i think is imposibble.
