Hacked

in #steemit8 years ago

My account was one of the hacked accounts (I looked it up in the source at https://github.com/steemit/steem/commits/master and my account, auxon, was one of them). This is the first time, in a long, long history on the internet, that I have had an account hacked.

I still cannot login and am still waiting for a response from steemit about it. So, I went ahead and made a new account.

I saw the XSS script, overflowing into page, but I had already just submitted my password, stupidly, when I got prompted for it after clicking an upvote button. That shouldn't happen. It should only prompt for things like transferring funds and trading. I should have known. I even posted a few bug reports which were clearly linked to the attack.

I have now taken to logging in with only my posting key, and securing the rest of my keys.
