We know that a few of you are playing Workit challenges, and we have an important announcement, so please read:
🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Eight hours ago, an unknown bug was exploited within the app, and the hacker managed to drain one of our wallets, totaling around $800 in Bitcoin.
User funds are safe, and we advise you to transfer them to another wallet until we identify and fix the bug.
The damage was minimal, and the existing challenges will be canceled, with users receiving their funds back.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience. All user funds are safe and unaffected—only Workit suffered a minimal loss of $800 in Bitcoin.
To be extra safe, please transfer your Bitcoin to another wallet. Please wait for our announcement as we resume operations in a few days.
Thanks for letting us know! All sats are safe in one of my wallets. Hope that @grayruby and @Undisciplined are aware.
Saw that I got my sats back from the challenge we were in but I haven’t withdrawn yet.
Yes, I went for my morning walk and noticed soon after that I had again the sats in the wallet and no active challenge. I have already withdrawn them.
Gotta love Random thieves on the internet this is one thing I hate about the bitcoin ecosystem. Hacks and theft and how it goes unpunished
The good thing is that it happened now and not at a later stage, and we only paid a small price.
Thanks for the heads up! Hopefully your up and going again soon!
Thanks! The problem has been identified, and a fix is being implemented.
Look forward to the next challenge once sorted
Yes, we only need a few days!
Hey team trying to add sats to join new challenge but not letting me add sats to my wallet?
Hey! Are you trying to deposit from an external wallet? Is the transaction failing or unresponsive?
It's working on our end (tested with multiple Lightning wallets), but we're currently closing and reopening some channels for better connectivity.
Yesterday we released a new update that includes encryption improvements for better security, so please update your app and try again. The older app version may not function properly.
That fixed it I hadn’t updated my app version. It wasn’t making the deposit invoice but now it’s sweet
Great, thanks!
Hey team get those bugs sorted?
I'm having trouble withdrawing
Try withdrawing 90% of your balance first and the remaining in the second transaction using the same logic
Thanks
