Of course, the coins earned by those illegal Masternodes did not end in mine...
But a couple of hundred coins are well deserved for the developer of this exploit.
Please Update To v10.14.1 - Masternode Security Update

Done: https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries/raw/master/darkcoin-0.10.14.1-win.zip
The cracker wrote whole network has to update to not get him being paid.

Worked, thanks Flare!
There has def been damage. Since the attacker was able to insert his own masternodes into the list without needing the 1000 coins he was able to receive tons of payments...

All payments from today.
It is compiled, waiting for the merge from Evan

What do you mean? Is that win zip with the latest fix?

I see, so i take it the attacker put all his own nodes on the list at took all the block payments........I suspect a disgruntaled miner

It just meant that Evan needed to push a button, which is done now.
Windows version available at https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries/raw/master/darkcoin-0.10.14.1-win.zip
Not tons of coins
Just 60drk for now. I think it is a tiny amount for spending more than 16 hours (according to the hacker) or possibly even more time to carry out this attack.

Doesn't matter who it was - these things are to be expected. And they will continue to happen. Rather sooner than later imo. Every attack and every fix makes the coin stronger.
I feel that this has been quite an important milestone tbh.
Evan...you're brilliant at what you do. But there are other brilliant people too. This is the whole point of going open source and the best thing is that we have a community to support a rapid reaction.

It makes me wonder how long this was being exploited, and what the real MN count will be afterward.
If this guy were subtle he could have been sapping the network for a long time.

He has stated that he wasn't doing it for money. For somebody of sufficient intelligence and expertise to reveal this exploit I personally believe he wanted to make an impact, perhaps even harden the code rather than profit.
I don't think he/she/it was exploiting the MN network for a long because we would have noticed the big red lines which showed <1000drk balance:
Masternodes updated
