Mainnet is a pure chemistry of predictions! Packs are bursting, $1000 prizes are trickling in, the team is fixing things on the fly. My feedback: add biometrics to the wallet as protection against explosions, and more contest variations.
Last Night at 230am, a team member had his discord account compromised.
The Hacker Made several false announcements, deleted all our Discord Channels and tried to drain some community members.
Thankfully a Community member & friend of several years @hazy2go rang me just in the nick of time for us to rectify the matter.
I want to clarify that:
✨ The Upshot App was Fine during this timeframe.
✨ To Our Knowledge, No Discord Member was Drained
✨ @upshot_cards Twitter is Fine Too.
This will not set us back on our mission.
However:
For members that may have clicked on the links the hacker was posting, please revoke access to any wallets that may have been exposed. Change passwords as required and transfer funds to a cold storage for precaution.
Right Now:
✅Most Channels are Now Restored
✅ To get an Update on Most Things Upshot, we tend to build in Public, and most of our former updates are on Twitter.
