Feels like you are couching the famous DAO additive the code is the law.
If the code allows it then it isn’t a bug/hack it’s a feature...only in the world of blockchain(s) of course.
- hopler 8y agoIf you walked into your bank and someone in the lobby told you complete your transaction at a (fake) bank next door, would you say the bank was hacked?
- will_brown 8y agoYou mean if you make up a completely different hypothetical scam not involving software at all? No I think the word “hack” in this context is directly related to software. Now If I login to my bank app and upon logging in I revealed my login credentials to a third party and my account was subsequently zeroed out...yes I’d call that a hack.
- jamescostian 8y agoI think a better parallel would be "your bank's website has advertisements and one of them says 'click here to pay off your credit cards' but it's actually just a phishing attempt" That said, I wouldn't call such a scenario a hack.
