스팀엔진 아웃.

오랜만에 스코판 접속했더니 예전에 쓰고 포스팅하지 못한 글이 떠있어서 기념으로 올려봅니다.

그사이 시간이 많이 흘렀군요...

이런 날이 올 것은 알았지만, 막상 닥치니 대비가 된 것이 없네요.

스팀엔진이 해킹당했고, 복구에는 오랜 시간이 소요될 것이며, 재산상 피해는 없을 것이지만 서비스는 종료하겠다, 정도로 요약될 수 있는 애그로드의 메시지입니다.

Dear Steem Engine Community,

Bad news: Steem Engine node database was hacked and deleted.
Good news: no funds stolen and DB can be restored from on chain data.
Bad news: Once restored we'll be decommissioning Steem Engine
Good news: hive-engine/tribaldex are unaffected

We regret to inform you that a hacker was able to delete database information for Steem-Engine on the primary server running Steem-Engine. We believe that the extent of the hack was access to the DB, but not the entire server. We've gotten a ransom note to pay btc to get the file back or they'll delete the information. The timing of this is ironic as we were in initial planning phases to shut down Steem-Engine entirely. The server has seen very little use over the last 6 months, and we believe that given the lack of use it would be an appropriate measure to shut it down entirely.

The funds for Steem-Engine appear unaffected. It turns out there's only $24k of Steem tokens housed there. That said, we're still planning to recover the server information to the best of our ability so that anyone that has Steem stored in Steem-Engine has an opportunity to get their Steem withdrawn. Because our last backup was more than a year old we expect that setting up and replaying the server may take as long as 1 month. So, we apologize in advance for the speed with which recovery is made available. At this time all funds are secure, and once service is restored we'll offer a multi month opportunity to withdraw your funds.

It's important to note that hive-engine has significant upgrades that were never retroactively applied to steem-engine. To the best of our knowledge the exploit the hacker used to delete the DB does not impact hive-engine as the exploit we think was used does not appear to apply to the hive-engine framework. Further, funds on both hive-engine and steem-engine appear unaffected. We'll try to keep the community updated as we figure this out.
