Hectorians! We're excited to announce our partnership with OKX Web3, the integration of OKX Wallet into our dApp, and that we have been listed on OKX Discover!

OKX Wallet is a great option for users who need a noncustodial, multichain digital asset storage and a management tool. It comes in either browser extension or mobile/web app form and supports 40+ networks, including Ethereum, OKC, BSC, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Aptos 👇
🌐 https://www.okx.com/learn/how-to-create-an-okx-wallet

With the integration of OKX Wallet, Hector Network dApp has become a user-friendly platform for all OKX Wallet users since they can now easily connect their wallet with it, explore it and use its features.

OKX Discover offers users of the OKX platform the opportunity to explore and enjoy various dApps listed there 👇
🌐 https://www.okx.com/web3/discover

By being listed on OKX Discover, Hector Network has gained wider visibility and is easily accessible to OKX users.

OKX Wallet integration and listing on OKX Discover is just the start of a great partnership. Soon there will be more exciting updates, so stay tuned!

In addition to OKX Wallet integration into our dApp and listing to OKX Discover Browser, both our tokens, $HEC and $TOR, on both chains, Fantom and BNB, have been listed on OKX DEX!

Besides listing benefits such as significant exposure and accessibility, users will be able to use both $HEC and $TOR on BNB and Fantom Chain and swap them for different tokens across different blockchains.

OKX DEX is a one-stop, multi-chain, and cross-chain trading aggregator. Through X Routing, the smart routing algorithm, OKX DEX finds the best route to place an order across different DEXs. By comparing prices based on liquid providers' best liquidity pools, and splitting orders, it provides users with the best trading prices with minimal slippage, and lower network gas fees in multi-chain and cross-chain scenarios.

OKX DEX connects over 100 DEXs and offers over 100,000 crypto assets in one place, which allows it to provide efficient, smooth, and economical multi-chain transaction services. It sets aside some native tokens to pay for the network gas fees so that users don't need to transfer additional funds from other places, making it easier to swap crypto across different blockchains.

Last Week at Hector Network: It’s been a hectic week for Hector Network, or at least the end of the week, but before we cover the topic that made our hearts drop for a moment, let’s talk about some nicer stories first. Particularly, January has already passed us by again and unlike last year, this time it was a rather positive month in the crypto space.

For Hector Network, a lot of things have happened too. As DeFi Eagle and< Fantom Talk illustrated in unison on their respective Twitter pages last month has brought the launch of the Atlantica NFT Marketplace with amazing prospects and utility for NFT enthusiasts all around the Fantom blockchain (and beyond). Furthermore, the Emission Plan got its third farm added to the mix. The $HEC-$TOR farm is very juicy and a fantastic excuse to use both tokens for some rewards. If you don’t know how to get either one, Banxa might be your way forward, swapping fiat directly for the Hector Network tokens and also $FTM. No more detours or bridging are required. The company has come a long way since January 2022. Lastly, Fantom Talk also highlights the latest validator addition of the Casper Validator which Hector Network is now running for extra revenue.

Hectorians, A quick community update about the status around hack of our servers.

Our lead on development and infrastructure has been working relentless since the hack started to try and get some of our web servers back online. There is some good news around that:

The dApp is back online:

https://app.hector.network/

There is also a maintenance placeholder live for the website, which we hope to get back online during the day:

https://hector.network/

The FTM validators are still in recovering phase, but they have a hard time recovering. Let's pray they will do in time. We've got 72 hours for that before the validator get's banned.

The Casper validator is back online and in business in the meantime.

There is hard work being done to try and restore the other web servers within our infrastructure.

⚽️ Matchday! ⚽️ BVB, Hectorians are with you! 🖤💛

We are sure our ticket giveaway winners will see an exciting match!

Hectorians, Yesterday it came to our attention that our servers were not functioning correctly, immediately diving deeper it became clear that we were the victim of a hack across several servers. We caught the hack in progress and while we were determining the extent of the damage several other servers were compromised.

Let us be very clear: no user funds or protocol funds are at risk or have been affected.

All reward distributions within the protocol go through a smart contract. The dApp is just an interface, there could be some delays from the lambda bot not connecting but it should all be stored in the smart contracts. We expect the rewards to be distributed correctly once we are live again.

Our delegated funds are safe on the blockchain. The target is infrastructure and validator servers with the express purpose of ransoming us for the key to release them. If we choose not to pay the ransom we can rebuild the servers internally but this is of course several days, if not weeks of work.

Hackers have found a vulnerability in the ESXi VMware servers, and were able to gain access and encrypt files. Only the files needed to run the EXSi servers were infected. This is problematic as it’s impossible to access data or even restart the servers without those files.

This probably has to do with a zero day vulnerability, below an explanation on this:

A zero-day vulnerability is a vulnerability in a system or device that has been disclosed but is not yet patched. An exploit that attacks a zero-day vulnerability is called a zero-day exploit.

Because they were discovered before security researchers and software developers became aware of them—and before they can issue a patch—zero-day vulnerabilities pose a higher risk to users for the following reasons:

- Cybercriminals race to exploit these vulnerabilities to cash in on their schemes
- Vulnerable systems are exposed until a patch is issued by the vendor.

Zero-day vulnerabilities are typically involved in targeted attacks; however, many campaigns still use old vulnerabilities.

Be assured that our infrastructure is updated daily to prevent running into these vulnerabilities. We are not the only server system that has been hit in the last several hours, indicating this is indeed a zero day vulnerability hack.

Unfortunately also our backup servers were infected with the ransomware. This prevents us from simply rebooting the systems ourselves. Either the ransom must be paid (risky, since there is no guarantee they will release the key once we’ve paid), or the servers will need to be rebuilt from scratch, a time consuming process, leaving aspects of our infrastructure offline for some time.

As soon as everything is back online again, we are going to take extra security measurements to ensure that we can always restore backups, no matter what happens.

Hectorians, In the past weeks we’ve discovered that the US authorities have charged another project for failing to register the offer and sale of their lending product. This project has agreed to settle with the US authorities in this case for $45 million dollars.

This is something in which we need to take our security measurements as soon as possible, to make sure that we won’t run into troubles with the US authorities on this.

What does this mean?
Today with this announcement, there will be the start of a two week period in which we are giving our US users the possibility to repay their loans they may or may not have in the Institute and withdraw their funds. After this period of two weeks, we will block access to the Institute for US users.

Additionally to this announcement, a popup will be shown to users that visit the Institute announcing that within two weeks (February 15th, 2023 at 18:00 CET), access to the Institute will be prohibited for all US users.

We also discussed the situation with OLA were people could be 'late to the party' with the access restriction for US citizens. How would they be able pay off their loans and withdraw their collateral from the Institute, and this can be done direct through the contracts. If you have any questions on how to do this, feel free to open a support ticket. Our team can assist you in this.

So if you’re from the US and are already capable of paying off loans and withdrawing your funds, this is strongly encouraged. And at latest before February 15th, 2023 at 18:00 CET.

Thanks for understanding!
Much love from the Hector Network team!
