Prepare - Uncover - Outwit - Find - WIN!

Welcome to the Steemit Crypto Challenge. You may know this series of puzzles, or not. Let me give you a quick introduction. You are looking to find a solution. Anything can be a hint. You will start with two hints given and need to seek the right path. You think you are good with riddles? Are you a big master of puzzles? Find the answer. Sometimes the hints are hidden, not visible to the eye. But they are here.

Can you follow your intuition and stay on the right track? The first to reveal a hint will win a prize. The first to attain understanding with the right answer will receive their bigger reward.

Here is your first hint https://steemitimages.com/DQmSavYZzv7MpPTB2E2suXhuFzJD6dPGcpaQnC7SBaubRP6/cyber-security-1923446_1920.jpg
