There is an ongoing discussion about Golem and its work verification procedure.
Someone is running a bad Golem node that renders an Elastic advertisement  Tongue and gets positive work verification:

More details on that security issue can be found below - the author admits being XEL fan   Wink

Wow, simply amazing! I had a good laugh, i doubt GNT is though. After all that money and "team" members, they were defeated by one guy with an old ACER,  Roll Eyes - meanwhile XEL  Cool

Well, I think there was a discussion about this kind of problem, and that it will arise at some point, but Golem team has always claimed they have methods to resolve it.
They've been confident that a reputation system, together with other verification methods, is panacea for such issues.
EK was also sceptic about Golem's ideas for decentralized rendering (as far as I remember).
