Ahmad Shadid, CEO and founder of io.net, posted on the X platform that because the team had previously blocked the airdrop farmer, they took revenge for the GPU being blocked and attacked the community by unauthorized access to the private name of the user's device and the GPU model (device metadata API).
After 28 hours of work, the team has now restored accurate data for all devices, and when users reconnect, the team will fix the uptime issues for everyone recorded in this incident. In addition, the official has launched multiple powerful security patches to protect user device data through Okta Auth0 backend authorization, and has paid Auth0 more than $300,000 to protect user account authentication.
Please note that all existing devices need to be restarted to complete the update. New device connections have been suspended, and the team will re-enable new workers soon.
