Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
receive, from a computer server, a request to verify a block to be added to a distributed linear sequence,
wherein the block is generated by a server administrator, and
wherein the distributed linear sequence comprises a plurality of blocks, each block comprising one or more events;

determine that the block is attempting to modify a policy recorded in the distributed linear sequence;
determine, based on processing at least a part of the policy, that only an administrator of the distributed linear sequence is allowed to modify the policy;
check the one or more events against the policy to determine absence of an event indicating that the server administrator is an administrator of the distributed linear sequence; and
responsive to determining the absence of an event indicating that the server administrator is an administrator:
determine that the block was fraudulently generated, and
send a message to at least one other computer device associated with the distributed linear sequence that the computer server is compromised.
