hello there is a a backdoor in the version 10.8.8 i have been stolen 999 dark coin from my master node
here is my wallet address http://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/address.dws?XfNfxwfQpVKccGprG6PdRWT2UtMGoM9gCL.htm

it has been moved to this wallet XwKx3mWB9ncJo5ZudqyEZ1MoQWMSmE3CwP

it seems either the devs or someone who gave the version given on darkcoin.io got a backdoor


here is the log of my masternode server
 st login : from 192.162.103.175


Can you give a little more info, did you have the wallet encrypted? How was your darkcoin.conf setup?

the wallet was encrypted by  a hard password
the wallet was started as use and not root
i have changed the ssh port from 22 to another
installed fail2ban
did all security thing and still got hacked
the starge thing is that it has been sent only 999 and not all of the darks which is 1000.6
the walet that received the dark is XwKx3mWB9ncJo5ZudqyEZ1MoQWMSmE3CwP
is there anything to do to block that wallet adress? before he move it somewhere else and sell ?


I am excited for tomorrow. That being said, PLEASE be careful and secure all of your DRK if you will running a masternode. At these prices 1000 DRK is worth a lot of money! If you are unsure if you are doing things correctly I advise you to wait until you are SURE everything is perfectly secure.

Be safe!

How is this even an issue anymore with cold storage masternodes?

Its an issue because a lot of people have been having a hard time setting up the cold storage masternode... the wallet still needs to be connected to the masternode during setup and can be in danger if not secured properly.

In theory you are correct that the new system will be MUCH safer. However many people do not have the technical expertise to implement it properly...
