Error .. Costed Stellar 400.000 $

in #blockchain7 years ago

Hackers managed to pull up $400.000 worth of stereo currency from the "LM" from a governor hosted by the Blackwallet.co site without user permission. This is through capturing DNS. As multiple sources reported, on Saturday, January 13, the attackers took control of the Blackwallet hosting server by changing the settings to allow running code created by hackers, which in turn work to send the user balances of the Stiller coin that exceeds 20 of the currency to the address portfolio under their control . As a result of the attack, approximately 670.000 of the Cyler currency is currently missing, which means that approximately 23% of the currency has been lost in the past 48 hours.

Efforts are being made to control this attack before stopping the service, where the developers of the Blackwallet Wallet warned users through social media, and they said that they must withdraw their assets from the currency to other places if they have entered their portfolios since the Saturday when the attack began. On the other hand, this was not the first attack of its kind, and in August last year, hackers persuaded the company's customer service representative to revoke control over the scope of the classic ether purse by the original owner. The result was a heavy loss of user-sensitive funds and information, as reported by the sources at the time. At the same time, the Blackwallet developer told members of the currency community not to "spread rumours" about the German hosting provider.
