Very timely post. I recently fell victim to a phishing airdrop scam and lost control of my account for about 2 1/2 weeks. Luckily Steemit was able to recover my account for me. I was sick to my stomach for quite a while. And I lost about 1/4th of my holdings. But back in business and lessons learned, the hard way.

Please tell us more details to understand how these phishing scams work, What kind of airdrop? Did you give your private key?

Someone replied to a comment on a post of mine. It was to the popular APPICS community. Saying APPICS had an airdrop. I was super stupid and wasn't paying attention. When you clicked on the link you needed to log in. Unfortunately, my login used to be a private key. So they stole it and changed them and locked me out. If I was thinking I would have done more research. I think I was in a hurry that day doing something else, so didn't pay much attention to it.

It was an owner key, I think. It was whatever I had set up years ago when I opened the account. Again, I wasn't paying attention, haha. So they logged in with my key and changed everything. So I had to contact Steemit to recover my account. It took them a few weeks, but it worked.
