RE: Steemit suffered a DDOS attack. Who did it?
This attack should not be unexpected. Steemit is making tremendous progress and therefore will catch the attention of all manners of persons.
The lesson from this attack is the obvious need to always step up security as much as possible. Nothing must happen to steemit.
Thanks @richhersey for hazarding these guesses. May be one day, we shall know what really happened on that fateful day. Just may be!
I read one story about the hack and how they used the DDOS to test for passwords. At least, that was the claim. What I don't get is that if you are phishing for passwords, why do it using a DDOS and raise red flags. Something fishy about that version of the story.
