Mlc Posted October 17, 2018 #1 Posted October 17, 2018 Hello everyone Do you ever wonder if your coins and accounts are safe from hackers and thief’s? A lot of sites offer 2fa security linked to your email or mobile phone which offers extra security and if you have a difficult password, with a hard combination of numbers, letters, lower and high case and a few non alphabetical symbols thrown that you change every week or so you should be good. Hackers and thief’s are good at what they do , most have computer skills we could never dream of having and it’s been proven again this week just how clever they are and how everyone is at risk if you don’t take security seriously. EOSBet, a gambling dApp which uses EOS tokens, lost at least $338,000 from its operational wallets to hackers on October 15. This is the second attack in less than 60 days as a similar attack took place on September 14. The attack has once again brought the platform’s security vulnerabilities to the forefront. Patrons were notified of the attack by the platform through a written presser. The attack was streamlined to the platform by hackers using a malicious code, which tricked the EOS smart contract platform into ‘accidentally’ crediting their accounts with the token. on September 14, hackers had siphoned almost 40,000 EOS, worth at least $200,000 at that point in time.The attack was the result of hackers exploiting a vulnerability in their smart contracts. Following the attack, devs had to take dApp offline to come up with a fix.

True. 2FA security is the safest security right now or use all security methods to protect your wallet. And I don't really using crypto-wallet, because hackers are smarter for these days, they even solve the hardest security that being made. I only hoping you guys don't get hacked!
