Sam made a public apology on Twitter and stated that over the next month, he will be leading a security review of the old non-trading parts of Blockfolio. To compensate users, Blockfolio will be giving out $10 to every trader and the next ones who sign up this week.
Apparently, the offensive content and hack was published by a competitor exchange of Blockfolio who gained access to an employee of the company that had access to Signals capabilities.
