Latest Splinterlands hack reminds us of the risks and weak point of hot wallets https://leofinance.io/@behiver/latest-splinterlands-hack-reminds-us-of-the-risks-and-weak-point-of-hot-wallets Probably most involved in Splinterlands or being around it have already find out that the game recently experienced a security incident that resulted in the theft of approximately 6 million SPS and 8 million DEC tokens which in the current market conditions accounted for up to $200,000. The stolen tokens were dumped right away on the markets causing a drop in price for $SPS and also significant concern among the game's community, including myself. In an official announcement, Splinterlands revealed that the theft occurred from old, no longer used hot wallets deployed on a certain infrastructure that were previously used for bridges between the Splinterlands game and the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum (ETH) chains before Terablock took over. With the new technology changes Splinterlands has moved to more secure solutions, but I think that was a good hit that it took.
