Since our last update post 3 weeks ago, a lot of things happened. In this post, we are going to talk about them.
On July 4th, NobleBot got its first active private key and acted as accordingly by transferring liquid funds to victim's savings account. There were 2 cases of this and in both cases, NobleBot was able to help with SBD but failed to transfer STEEM (NobleBot was beaten by another bot).
To react to not able to transfer STEEM to savings, NobleBot's code was updated. It performed well in testing but not tested in real life situation. So, we are hoping it would as expected. We'll post more update on this in future posts.
We saw that many victims' account was updated with ACTIVE, POSTING, and OWNER authorities to the hacker account. This gives the hacker to control even if the victim changes the password. Hackers also change the victim's vesting withdrawal routes.
NobleBot brought a tool to help victims reset their account. This tool requires the victim's active private key but will be updated to SteemConnect when they will support the removal of owner and active authorities.
The NobleBot has been working with @abh12345 from witness
@steemcommunity. Today we are happy to announce that the NobleBot will be working with
@guiltyparties from
@steemcleaners, along with
@steemcommunity.
If NobleBot gets your key and changed it, you'll be notified via comment or transfer memo or both by NobleBot (@noblebot), we do not have any other account.
@noblebot is also not related to witness
@noblewitness though the name is very similar.
