Im Just A Victim of Phishing. What Should I Do to Earns People's Trust?
What Happened?
2 days ago my account was hacked because of my own stupidity. I opened my account to check if there is comment that needed a reply, just like What I do before I go to work, There is this link that I dont know why I clicked it, when I already know that it is a phishing link.
What Is Phishing?
Phishing is a form of social engineering that attempts to steal sensitive information. An attacker's goal is to compromise systems to obtain usernames, passwords, and other account and/or financial data.
My data connection that day was unstable, maybe I got bored while watching the loading indicator above my browser, I accidentally clicked the link. And out of my mind, I even entered my "username" and "passkey" at when I asked to log-in again. I was so worried that I didn't even go to work yesterday.
Password Recovered
This morning, I recieved a notification from Steemit Password Recovery. Thank you for fast response steemit dev. Good work!
How Did I Do That?
Just simple. You should go to "https://steemit.com/recover_account_step_1"
Important
According to code in Steem blockchain, you can do that only during first 30 days after password was changed.
So becareful next time for clicking a link or your account will say bye bye.
Just to make sure my Steem Dollars' safe, I transfered it to my back-up account. Just in case the hacker still have the authority in my account.
