Hacked

in #steemit6 years ago

Well I just got back into cellphone reception after being at a family reunion for the weekend and I was horrified to receive texts saying that my Steemit account had been hacked and that I'd had 1800 SBD stolen.

On Friday a user named @lezly commented on my post with a link that supposedly showed my content being stolen. I clicked on the link and was taken to a site that looked exactly like steemit.com, but I think maybe had something different than .com at the end. I'm trying to remember if I put my password in anywhere on that site, I don't think I did, but I suppose it's possible I did without thinking anything of it.

Anyways, if any of you clicked on the links that the hacker posted please change your password immediately so the same thing doesn't happen to you.

I'm so mad and feel so helpless that so much hard work has been totally taken away from me. As far as i know there's nothing that I can do to recover any of the money at this point, but if any of you have any ideas, please let me know.

Sorry dude.....I don't think there is any recourse....

Removed all my flags trying to stop this phisher yesterday. I am sorry for your loss.

Thanks, appreciate the work you do.

Congratulations @yumyumseth!

Such an empty feeling not being able to do anything about this. The dark side of the blockchain coin. I feel for you, man, that's a body blow.
