RE: Utopian-io hacked / Keys are 'safe' / I've changed mine anyway / Small voting break
Yesterday was a crazy day because of this, we got a lot of reports about it, starting with @runicar who was the first to contact me directly. There's no way to guarantee security. Can do whatever it takes to secure something but it's never 100%. Devs leave back doors, hackers have mad skills, servers have admins, etc.
Have to say Utopian handled it pretty well and were responsive on Discord. Communication is a big part of the game. We've got a lot of security issues, phishing mostly, going on right now. The user base is more aware which in itself was a big mitigation by the looks of it.
Absolutely, and I'm not 100% we've seen the end of this due to the above.
Utopian have handled it pretty well, it's a huge hit for them as the hacker/s wiped servers and destroyed backups. As I mentioned, there has to be trust in at least one other person and normally more in business - a solid employee turned major rogue is I guess one of the biggest risks (with low possibility) on the matrix.
Phishing has seemed to increase, pretty low-life imo and it is a case of user education as you say that can help keep damage at a minimum.
Cheers.
