PSA:: Warning Message :: BEWARE of STEWIT

in #steemit7 years ago


I have heard some said stories of people having their accounts hacked. They accidentally visited steewit(dot)com instead of steemit.com. This is really terrible as they were asked to put in their passwords and lost not only their money but also reputation here on steemit as the hackers used their accounts to perpetuate the attack. Be very careful when clicking links here on steemit. Even if it from someone you've been friends with on steemit for some time as you never know if they have had their accounts compromised.

I think it is important to only enter you login information after manually typing in steemit.com, make sure not to use auto fill as this could take you to the wrong site. always check the site to be sure. If you have any other ideas of how to keep our accounts safer please comment below!

please help share this message either by making your own post letting people know, or by resteeming this one. I really think it is important we work as a community to get the word out on this!

thanks!

I have Steemit saved as a marker in my favorites so I know I typed the adress right and it will always be the same.

This is such nasty business! Just heard about an artist loosing everything!
Thank you for bringing the spotlight on this, I hope no one else gets scammed!

Very valuable information there. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Ralph

Good video, but what does PSA mean here? I thought it meant Prostate Specific Antigen, as in the PSA test. (Don't laugh.)
