With the website being on and offline regularly in the last two days, many of the writers faced the situation of not being able to post.
Many user - included some in my close circle - got hacked and got their value removed from their account. And although hacks are usually of bad nature they expose flaws in the system. Every feedback is valuable feedback. I for once am a big blockchain enthusiast and love to see the project evolve as a whole. I want to see blockchain becoming a mainstream idea. People need to see the advantages of running a distributed network and start disrupting existing structures. And that doesn't happen without getting a punch once in a while. This hack just showed that human still does make mistakes. But we need them in order to improve and make the project worthwile
I guess steemit will have to decentralize as a whole.
I assume this won´t be long untill we get there, as for now i would really welcome a 2FA.
Although i saw somebody get past that aswell.
But since these are the very early days iam very positive we will manage to avoid future attacks.
can you elaborate? What's a 2FA?
That´s short for 2 factor authentication.
Google has an app for that as an example. When logging in, you need to enter a code given to you by google, displayed on your smartphone.

I've heard it rumored that 2FA is on its way. That is a great first step.
Yeah 2FA is a great choice
