Steem Engine is safe once more!
Ahoy mateys! Reverend Rum, literal pirate and 1337 h@x0r, here with fantastic news for ye! Steem Engine is now safe once more! For those of ye not followin' me good word, earlier this week I had discovered a potential trojan horse malware issue with Steem Engine; specifically a third party image host being used to display a token's icon.
@Ironshield first reported on this last month (https://steemit.com/palnet/@ironshield/steem-engine-trojan-just-me-or-does-anyone-else-see-this), along with a few other users. I then ran into the same issue. For the good of the platform, I brought it back to the Steem Engine team's attention as the issue had still not been resolved. I was told by the SE team that it was not their site causing the issue.
Luckily, thanks to @Steemitri's dilligence, he noticed me concern and realized the issue was coming from his image host and quickly fixed the problem. Much obliged, Steemitri, ye've done good!
Now I need to clarify: none of this be proof of any wrongdoin' on anyone's end. Maybe Steemitri's image was just on a site that happened to also have a trojan from someone else and got put on a blacklist. Maybe it was all a false positive. What I'm tryin' to say is don't go gettin' the pitchforks. What matters is the waters are safe once more thanks to the joint efforts of y'er favorite blockchain pirate and a sassy living mannequin.

I could have sworn that mennequin face and @steemitri was a russian hacker just being 1337 ... the whole thing seemed liek a joke :D
HAHAH the image is changed now :D
No russian hacker, hahaha... just a plastic mannequin blogger.
You can check my posts :-)
I have to thank a guy from the italian community who told me about the issue with my MANNEQOIN logo.
Have a great day!

ahhh, I know a lot in the Italian Community, some great people who have good senses of humor unlike so many who have sticks up their asses
Haha, yeah... it's a nice community... with good, bad and ugly people, haha.
Vamosaway was an old website of mine, when I was travelling the world... It was in Joomla and it was hacked about a year ago. We put it offline last year, and I think Google and other services are still listing it in a blacklist.
The image of the MANNEQOIN logo was on a separate folder, so I don't think it was an issue.
Anyway... I changed the logo of my token, with an image from Steemit.
