Steem Engine Hacked, $24K STEEM Suspended, Investors Out of Business, Revoke Now !
Hello Steemit friends wherever you are. May you always be in good health and blessed.
The Steem Engine website https://steem-engine.net/ has recently shocked a number of stakeholders, including investors who have adopted the side-chain smart contracts of the project. Steem Engine is a website that enables side-chain smart contract support for the Steem Blockchain developed by "aggroed" and their team. Even Steem Engine is designed as a trading website that can allow investors to create their tokens or build their own websites on the Steem Blockchain network.
However, unfortunately since November 5, 202 this website has been announced to have been hacked (Steem Engine node database has been hacked and deleted. They announced this officially on the discord page since November 5, 2022 and has caused chaos and concern. Regardless of what actually happened in the behind this, instead of switching to a more robust and secure web support, they have decided to shut down Steem Engine.
The target of the hack is the theft of funds, but it is impenetrable by hackers. So, currently around 24 K STEEM funds on Steem Engine are still safe. However, in this case they promise to work hard until it takes 1 month to reactivate the website.
After fixing the database, they will provide a timeframe for investors to withdraw their funds in Steem Engine. It's unfortunate, but factual as you know, despite assumptions and accusations, let's see what happens in the coming month. With the decision to close the Steem Engine project, it will also have an impact on the website project built on the Steem Engine side-chain smart contract.
Official announcement about the problem that occurred in Steem Engine.
There are many reasons and considerations to close Steem Engine, one of which is due to the lack of activity during the last 6 months. The impact of the decision to close this website has closed the opportunity for the advancement of the Steem ecosystem to adopt the Steem Blockchain network, especially to create tokens on the Steem network. Projects affected by this problem include Steem Coin Pan, Actnearn and Steem Zzang.
The project has a website and tokens that are produced from the Steem Engine smart contract. Seeing the level of security that is not guaranteed, apart from accusations of sheer drama schemes, let's secure our accounts. I invite everyone who has been in contact and transacted on Steem Engine to immediately secure your account, before something bad happens.
As you know, Active Key access has been used via steem connect or keychain for logins and transactions on Steem Engine. Both access points in my opinion is not the right recommendation to use access to third-party services. Even in a careless act some users may have used the Master Key to login to Steem Engine.
Active Key allows someone to access and make transfer transactions or withdraw your coins or tokens. In my review, I predict that access to Steem Engine is via a producer account https://steemitwallet.com/@steem-peg/transfers or https://steemitwallet.com/@steem-eng/transfers. So I suggest you to revoke your access key from third party use. Immediately secure your account!
Please click the following link to cut off access to third-party services, even if you want an extra step of security, you can secure your account with a recovery master key.

That´s about #BLOCKCHAIN , if Your SideChain is deletet , just replay ???
It seems so , höhö , hopefully , but , the question since #HIVE is , why does nobody get the importance of Steemengine and build it up into Crypto universe as it is done on #HIVE with the engine there ..
I never had to authorize the Engine by anything but by keychain .
