Affected Users Can Now Recover Their Steemit Account

Steemit Cyber Attack Analysis Is Being Finalized

from themerkle news desk I share this news here :

The Steemit platform breach that occurred last week is still being resolved as we speak. The operators of the platform announced a new security announcement, as account recovery has now officially begun. There are a few simple steps users need to take to access their old account again. Moreover, the returning of stolen funds is coming to a close soon as well.

When the Steemit platform got hacked last week, many people were concerned about the security of this concept. As it turns out, only a select few accounts were compromised in the process. Thanks to swift action, the threat was thwarted at an early stage. Stolen fundswere kept to a minimum as well, thankfully. Users who have had their accounts compromised can now begin the recovery process. There is an account recovery page, where users can enter their old password. After logging in through social media or the used email address, users will be granted a chance to create a new account password. Steemit users who authenticate through Facebook or Reddit should see their accounts restored immediately. Those who use an email and password combination will receive further instructions shortly after filling out the form. It is good to see the company take additional security precautions, as new passwords have to be at last 32 characters long.. Time to get that LastPass or other password manager working!

On the topic of users who have had funds stolen, the Steemit team is in the process of finalizing the analysis of the July 14th cyber attack. Figuring out how much funds has been stolen from each account has taken some time, but the final numbers will be coming in shortly. As promised earlier, the platform operators will refund every user out of their own pocket. Incidents like these are bound to happen when platforms become incredibly popular in such a short timespan. Luckily for Steemit, there was no real harm done, albeit the financial losses and compromised accounts should not be taken lightly. With these new security measures in place, business can be resumed as normal.

A free open source data encryption program for steemit users [repost]

A free open source data encryption program for steemit users Hello, everyone this is my first software sharing for Steemit Community. I developed a software (programmed in Visual Basic 8) for encrypting any text data. It’ll play a vital role on Steemit Community, because, on Steemit Platform we need a very long passphrase to be saved. It’s impossible to memorize this passphrase. And, it’s also very dangerous to write down this passphrase in the notepad. There are too many free password keepers & encryption programs, but, maximum are not open-source. My main objective is to provide such type open-source program. I use AES Rijndael Block Cipher Encryption Algorithm to encrypt text data. Step by Step Development : Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”. Create two text boxes & two command buttons on the form. Text1 textbox, Text2 textbox, Command1 commandbutton & Command2 commandbutton. Chang...

Visiting deep inside the Sundarbans & spent days with Bawali - Episode #10

In the last October-November I visited Sundarbans, the world's one of the largest mangrove forest. It was also declared as world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997. In this forest a numerous wildlife species exist - birds, reptiles, fishes, amphibians and also the king of the forest "Royal Bengal Tiger". The ganges dolphins & crocodiles are also living in the canals of Sundarbans. Chital is a one kind of spotted deer living in this forest. The rural life in the area of this coastal forest is also very attractive. They basically maintain their lives by collecting honey, woods and fishes. In the native language they are called as Bawali. I spent some days with them.

[Mega Post] Some Unknown Amazing Facts About Cats

image credit When Cats chase their prey, they keep their head level. But, humans & other animals bob their heads up and down. There are over 20 muscles in Cat’s ears. And Cat’s hearing ability is far better than dogs. Cats sleep 18-20 hours a day. And they sleep near 70% of their lives. It’s an amazing true that Cats have no sense of tasting sweet foods. Cats make about 100 different vocal sounds. Dogs make only about 10. image credit When cats grimace, they are usually “taste-scenting.” They have an extra organ that, with some breathing control, allows the cats to taste-sense the air. Cats can hear ultrasonic sounds that Dolphins create to communicate each other. Most cats are lactose intolerant, so, they can’t digest cow milk. Killing Cats was a punishable offence (in the most cases punish to death) in the ancient Egypt. Owning a cat can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack by a third. image credit Every Cat has its own unique nose print. It’s s...
