Thanks for helping to keep our community safe...This makes me angry! we Steemians don't tolerate that kind of crap here! they can go back to one of the other crappy platforms where that stuff belongs :)
Great job in outlining how scammers format comments to lure victims to malicious sites! Attackers are creative. Keep up the good reporting.
If only that guy used his brains in something positive! That's a masterpiece phishing attempt but sadly it's not gonna do any good to anyone! Upvoted and Resteemed @arcange.
I have to admit I have always been impressed by the creativity of these people, despite the fact that it is actually misused. Thanks for spread the warning @hungryhustle.
Cheers @arcange! Thanks for your commitment to safeguard the blockchain.
There should be an easily identifiable sign that "text" is actually an image, anytime images are posted in comments. For example, the word image should automatically appear beneath any image that anybody posts in a comment, malicious or not. This will alert users right away if an image is disguised as a comment.
This is a good idea. I will forward it to the devs.
Thank you!
These scum will stoop to any level for a quick buck. People have to be so careful as it's easy to be caught out. I really recommend using a password manager like Lastpass as that won't supply your passwords if the site URL is wrong, but even so there may be cases where even that can be fooled.
@themarkymark has a post with many options of password managers. More info about these latest phishing attempts.HERE
Thanks for useful info!...:)... Resteemed!
Thank you @acrange for your help and support we all have to make a team to find these hackers.Resteemed the more people read it the more they are awake.You are doing a great job by fighting against scammers I am going to vote for your witness too
Thank you for your support @lovepreet2511, really appreciated!
Thanks for the detail. Upped and Resteemed.
Thanks for spreading the info.
Resteemed for awareness and upvoted. These scammers tried a similar approach already where I was reporting some via comments - but using photos of known Steemians as a new step they try - be careful when adding any keys on any site. Always check the URL and never give out your master keys please!
Thank you @arcange for this and the work you do to try to secure the network.
