Any software that is coded will be exploitable - because the code is created by humans and the same humans can find some way to break or hack into it.

Does this mean Steem and it's blockchain is weak? No, in fact it only shows how well this blockchain has been developed - it detected the issue and shut itself down to protect all our accounts. We might have had a period of time when nothing was accessible - but the developers and top Witnesses quickly patched and solved the issue getting everything running again.

You only have to look at Apple, it's iPhone operating system which they fiercely lock down and the Jailbreak community who have managed to hack through exploits every single version of iOS - code is code and no matter how hard you try to make it perfect - someone will find a way to break it.

Personally I see this, like earlier hacks as a positive for Steem, Steemit and the blockchain - hacks are inevitable but that they are quickly dealt with and resolved is priceless - all our Witnesses quickly worked together to install the patch and keep this blockchain running.

Thank you again @jatinhota, you helped me once again ensure my own Witness server was updated at a time when pretty much every other resource was down.
