RE: Justin Sun Thwarted - A White Knight saves the Steem stolen by HF0.23 by sending to Bittrex.

The published open source code (if there is any) may not be the actual code that runs the web site. Also, the owners of the site can change the code at any time, and there is no way for us to know what code was used at the time of creation of community321 account.

That's the problem with trusting webapps, and it applies to any web application that asks for keys (steemit.com, steemitwallet.com etc. — they too could have been temporarily compromised at some point in the past).

Sort:  

That is true, only if you inspect the code running on a web app can you have some security but not everyone has the necessary knowledge to do it.
