Parity Launches Support Website In Wake of Exploit

U.K.-based startup Parity Technologies is opening lines of communication with users a day after a code vulnerability locked hundreds out of their ethereum wallets.

Issued in an alert Wednesday, the provider of software for the world's second-largest blockchain explained what went wrong and launched a website where users can check their addresses to see if their funds were affected. Parity also posted an email address for users to contact the company.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the wallet-checking website showed that 584 wallets and 573 people have been affected by the exploit. However, it's not clear if this is a final number or if it's simply the latest one that the company has tallied.

Parity was not immediately available for comment.

The security alert goes on to describe how a flaw in the company's code was exploited following a patch in July that fixed a prior vulnerability:

"Unfortunately, that code contained another vulnerability which was undiscovered at the time – it was possible to turn the Parity Wallet library contract into a regular multi-sig wallet and become an owner of it by calling the initWallet function."

The person who discovered the fault did so and then deleted the new wallet, Parity said, in statements that showcase the company's "current understanding" of the incident.

As CoinDesk previously reported, the ethereum community is now seeking to understand how best to respond to the incident, given that a hard fork of the software may be necessary. No other known solutions have been put forward to restore the frozen ether to their owners, though it's possible one could be forthcoming.

According to informal estimates, as much as $150 million worth of cryptocurrency may be currently inaccessible.







So only Parity Wallet users might be affected by it, right?
If ppl are using MEW or metamask, then don't need to worry?

There are rumors that Vitya will burn some ether, is there any confirmation of this news? If so, how many and when?

"A resolution has yet to be found for yesterday's Parity hack which saw up to $150 million frozen across the ethereum platform.
However, speaking to CoinDesk, Martin Holst Swende, head of security for the Ethereum Foundation, confirmed that a hard fork of the ethereum blockchain will be required to free up the funds."

Seen at: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-security-lead-hard-fork-required-to-release-frozen-parity-funds/

But will there be a hard fork?

We will see... But we are talking of roughly 500,000 ETH which sure makes a lot of money but isn't in any way comparable to the 11,500,000 ETH that the DAO used to hold back in the day (among which 3,600,000 ETH were stolen by the hacker). That's partly why you'll see that the hard fork isn't the solution which has the more upvotes on the Reddit thread.

IMHO, it's Parity's problem to handle and a good lesson for the next future. But there is also an interesting idea to implement an old EIP (suggested after the DAO mess) making contracts somehow fault-tolerant: read more about it here.

I will check, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi I hope someone can help answer a question.  I finally had to time to deal with sync issues with ETH wallet and it works now.  I tested out a small send for the first time of 0.01 ETH to Bittrex...

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4504ce50e78f46c7b4eb67f462687bd2a68a678b886c5dceb1c24d7ed45a290e

As of this post there are 131 confirms, but it is missing from Bittrex(no pending, no deposit history)

I am wondering if I am missing something or is it time to contact their support team.
is there any minimum deposit eth on bittrex?

I truly believe they should delay the Initial public offering and reexamine. It is obvious that the substantial area of the neighborhood has issues with the present framework.

initial puiblic offering of ethereum was years ago.
we are at page 794

It's just shit posting for post #s (likely for paid accounts/traffic). Report the accounts and move on.

A new cryptocurrency is set to be launched by influencer platform indaHash, allowing brands to pay social media stars in virtual tokens rather than cash.

The platform announced the arrival of the indaHash Coin this week, with the pre-ICO (initial coin offering) set for November 8 and running for a week.

IndaHash has around 300,000 social media users in 70 countries, and the platform matches relevant brands to them. The influencer creates a social media post, mentioning the brand, which is then checked by moderators before being published. IndaHash says it has worked with some of the world's largest advertisers on campaigns including Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal and Coca-Cola.
