RE: My Steemit Phishing Experience: A Thank You to those who helped me escape Unscathed
I try and be leery of everything that doesn't seem normal. One night while reading articles all of a sudden I get a pop up on the article that asked me to log in. I knew I had already logged in because I had went to my wallet and redeemed my rewards which requires you to log in. There was no way to get rid of the pop up so I closed out Steemit in my browser and reopened it. The pop up was gone. Then to be safe I logged out and logged back in. It was just unusual to see a pop up sign in log while reading a article, you get a message that says in order to vote you have to log in but I've never seen one for reading articles. Call me a skeptic but weirder things do happen.
there are so many ways these hackers are trying to steal accounts these days, it's crazy to me. I haven't heard anything like this before, but thanks for sharing. Always gotta be leery in a place where a lot of money is being made. I will definitely use this as a learning tool for the future.
Im always gonna think twice now.
Good luck to you my friend !!
