steemit safety problems and how to deal with
I never used my Private Key which is printed since I created my account!
I Just used my active for transfers and every day I use Post key. I keep them in a pen drive encrypted and I use a Mac Book Pro, not windows which is hard to be hacked, but not impossible.
So I really don't know what happened to my account today earlier. After my keys were not working I tried to put my owner key in login to change and even my owner key was hijacked :=/ My owner key is printed since I created the account, so How could someone hijacked even my Owner key? An internal problem? I don't know.
I'm awaiting the recovered link from steemit and will update here later.
PS: I hope @steemit can increase safety measures with 2FA or so with more people coming now.
Below is @gtg useful link :
@sift666 has also just been hacked and also waiting for recover key
I recovered mine yesterday in 3 hours tks for @gtg help. I hope you can recover yours ;-) Good Luck
After further investigation, it turned out that it was not a hack, it was a block. It was part of a new initiative by @gtg to promote awareness of the dangers of using the wrong keys. For more info and instructions on how to keep safe, see @sift666's post: https://steemit.com/steemit/@sift666/have-i-been-hacked-or-blocked
yup, maybe my computer I was using before (WINDOWS) had some malware :=/. We were blocked and tks to @gtg we are Safe ;-)
