๐๐ป Io.net, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), recently had a bit of a "whoopsie-daisy" moment with a cybersecurity breach. Some sneaky users exploited exposed user ID tokens, leading to a SQL injection attack. But fear not! Io.net's chief security officer, Husky.io, was on the case, implementing security upgrades and remedial actions. ๐ก๏ธ
Despite the hiccup, the GPUs' hardware remained secure, thanks to robust permission layers. The breach was spotted during a surge in write operations to the GPU metadata API, setting off alarms at 1:05 am PST on April 25. Talk about a wake-up call! ๐ด๐จ
Unfortunately, this security update coincided with a snapshot of the rewards program, causing a significant drop in active GPU connections. But, Io.net isn't letting this get them down. They've initiated Ignition Rewards Season 2 to encourage supply-side participation. ๐ช
So, what do you think about this incident? Let's chat in the comments! ๐ฌ
