RE: Warning!!! Scammers on Steemit are getting smarter: Phishing links, Steem clones et al
Issue is you can't filter out high rated members as hacked accounts posting links will become a very serious threat as time moves along. Think about how facebook spam gets sent around once an account is hacked. If a "trusted" account isn't flagged from directing towards a knows spam link then a hacked account increases in value.
I guess the main problem here is not the hacking of accounts, but anti-spam and anti-phishing bots don't exempt links, words and accounts even if they are totally safe. Anything that goes under their radar, whether the content is safe or not, as long as it contains 'words' or content that they deem pose a threat, they mark it as spam.
But...is it still the same thing now? I hope @guard and other bots have been calibrated. Been away from the Steemit world for over a week.
