RE: How I figured out I was hacked and withdrew 3047 Steem… with minutes to spare
I'm probably being dense - but could Steemit prevent future hacks by preventing people putting XSS (whatever that is) on their posts?
Not sure of the technicalities, but it seems like these sort of attacks are always a vulnerability. Especially with such an obvious target on Steemits back. I think the developers will sort something out in the future, over time.
No, it's a trojan script in the HTML web pages you load on Steemit. Dan had a post where he said you cannot stop it, one can only minimize it. The whales are safe because they use the CLI steemd to do money transfers, not the web site. I won't feel safe until I'm using CLI steemd for everything.
