RE: Case 7: raping the reward pool with 1700+ accounts - things are getting serious!
This has to be dealt with at a programming level. Are the Steem team aware of this, are they even going to take action? They seem so slow to make other changes on Steemit.
Yes, I am clueless as to how these accounts get through a "manual verification" process.
They seem to not pay very much attention at the mothership!
Sigh... there are a few things around here...
Well, think about it. I cannot possibly be a manual verification process. Steemit would have to hire an army of people to vet the sign ups. So I call BS. It is obviously automated.
Yeah, and not even reasonably so.
In a related case (to be released soon) someone signed up with numbered email addresses on a private domain.
It's no question where the vulnerability lies, but that's nothing we can fix ourselves. So until someone at the mothership wakes up, we'll have to be vigilante!
Do those in the mothership really care? That is the question oft repeated around Steemit.
