My Steem Account got compromised - Here is how you should protect your account on Blockchain
Hello everyone,
This is kamran and I am writing on steemit after almost three months of time. In this blog I will share about how my account got compromised recently.
There was phishing attack that my laptop went through, It was a fake Zoom link through which my entire laptop was compromised which also included my steem details as well.
There is this user named olgiz247 where my funds were sent and I know it can not return to my wallet now as that is gone but I am writing this blog so that people can stay aware and protect their account from something similar.
Above is the screenshot of my wallet where sadly everything I had is gone but to stay aware and safe here is something you should never do which I did.
Never save your active or master key in the browser so that even if you are go through a phishing attack it will not effect your wallet.
See carefully while opening links even if it is a famous link of zoom or google meet.
Keep changing your password time to time, I will do it once every three month from now on.
Set up google authenticator for the apps you can as that will help you a lot. My binance was save saved because of the authenticator app,
This one is a little difficult but maybe keep your working laptop separate.
So these are few things which I am practicing now. You too can share anything that is there in your mind with all of us so that we can improve together.
Thank you
