RE: Bitfinex, Blockchain Hacks, and Replay Attacks Oh My - All Things that Steem’s Technology is designed to prevent.
One thing I've never understood is this...
I learned about the hack from others, and immediately took action, and changed my keys.
My old key (even if it was not compromised) is no longer needed by me.
My worry is that the hacker, now has 30 days to use my old key to recover my account without me constantly realizing it.
My guess is that if it happens, I could also use my new key to recover the account again?
So for 30 days, I have to sit here, wondering if the hacker is going to use the recovery method to recover my old key, so they could xfer funds.
Dan? Any advice? Thanks.
I think this part is the important part: "and the signature of your recovery agent"
So my recovery agent is currently the @steem account itself?
He would have to pass our ID checks which means he would have to hack your reddit or facebook account. If he did do that, then we would up the level of KYC on your account. Posting a quality introduce yourself post with photos is a good way to help secure your account.
