STEEMIT SCAM - BE CAREFUL - VIDEO
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW WHERE I SHOW YOU AND EXPLAIN IN MORE DETAILS:
Hello everyone! Last night I was scrolling through dtube main page and saw a scam alert by @runicar and I thought it was really important to send a message to everyone! His video explains all the behind the scenes and how the scam works, so if you wanted a little bit of drama check his video here -
I just wanted to make a video and ALERT EVERYONE!! BE CAREFUL!!! These spammed messages are coming from normal accounts that have been hacked - so please dont click on any unknown links!
First thing you need to do : DO NOT USE YOUR MASTER PASSWORD - Change it on your browser and phone or anywhere you use it to your posting key! Save the master password, print it and put away! This way you can protect your account at least!
Secondly - dont log in twice and if it logs you out - check the browser - Is it steeemit or not?
Some SCAMS - www.steewit.com ; www.steemil.com
I dont know how many more there are - these just came across already! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!
RE-STEEM , LET EVERYONE KNOW!!! BE SAFE!!
Lots of love,
Alla xxxx

Good stuff , Hackers are The one thing that could keep the public away from block chains , Such a huge problem
I've been on the boat of people using posting key only and recommending everyone to only use posting key because of this exact issue. We will see many other, probably even better attempts to steal people's money. I really think SteemIt shouldn't allow master password, unless its for wallet features.
Thanks for that video, it's pretty helpful for the community
yes exactly! i guess they will always exist, our mission is to warn people as much as possible! yeah you are right! thanks for watching! I hope loads of people get around to see this and not be a victim!
We seriously need 2FA somehow. A few days back I also discovered a few hacked accounts and wrote about it.
ooh noo!! 2FA would be a great idea, would that be possible to do on steemit?
I am sure it can be done. Just cost of putting it in and cost of running it will be what some may be thinking of.
I guess it goes without saying that you should protect your private key (password) as you would the keys to your house.
Yes exactly! Good point!
what if you only know your posting and memo key?
Everyone who signs up gets. A master password. If you only know those you will never be able to transfer send money etc
thanks for the information it is very useful for everyone to be able to maintain their privacy and stay safe from all threats of hackers.
happy international women's day
yeah for sure! thanks :)
