io.net founder: OKTA user-level authentication integration deployment will be completed within 6 hours

Ahmad Shadid, CEO and founder of io.net, posted on the X platform that the io.net metadata API suffered a security incident. The attacker exploited the accessible mapping of user ID to device ID, resulting in unauthorized metadata updates. This vulnerability did not affect GPU access, but it did affect the metadata displayed to users by the front end. io.net does not collect any PII and does not leak sensitive user or device data. The io.net system design allows for self-healing, constantly updating each device to help restore any incorrectly changed metadata. In light of this incident, io.net has accelerated the deployment of OKTA's user-level authentication integration, which will be completed within the next 6 hours. In addition, io.net has also launched Auth0 Token for user verification to prevent unauthorized metadata changes. During database recovery, users will be temporarily unable to log in. All uptime records are unaffected, and this will not affect the supplier's computing rewards.
