Ethereum $150M Hack Explained - Programmer explains

in #ethereum7 years ago

We have encountered yet another hack regarding the Ethereum Parity Wallets. Today we take a look at what happened and why someone was able to freeze so much funds by locking up ether in the affected wallets. Should the network hard fork?

Great info

You would think something with $150 million dollars would be more secure.

While it is true that losing a ton of money is never funny, I can't help but agree that the parity/parody site is hilarious. I expect the 'I accidentally killed it' meme expressed on that t-shirt to go viral for sure.

Thx for the info Ivan!

Thanks for the info Ivan. I would think there would be some way to re-enable the library short of a hard fork or would it actually take a hard fork?
