RE: My account is back after hacker's attack for several days ago, Thank you steemit
Steemit was hacked but hash and digital signature is used by steemit have a good security. So why steemit was hacked ? In my opinion, it is because the protocol is not just hash and digital signature algorithm, There are many subject in a protocol, so I think the protocol is weak. thank you
Ahh, OK. I think perhaps you don't know the difference between Steemit and Steem? Steemit is this website we're on, and it was hacked via an XSS exploit which stole people's private keys. Steem is the blockchain, which this website is a GUI for, and it was not hacked. The protocol is completely secure, it's just the website that wasn't.
Ohh I see, thank you for your explain
