Hacked but I'm Back!

in #story8 years ago (edited)

Hello steemians!

My account was hacked! I don't know how or why that person did it or for what purpose. I really don't know. But I'm glad that I was able to recover my account after four long days I'm finally back!

I was really about to give up and just forget about this account. I actually created a new one already but I am still waiting for it to be activated though. I had a big smile on my face when I got the account recovery email.

Truly I am happy that I have my account back. Excited to be posting again. But I have to work on my reputation since it's all the way down to zero. 😭😭😭 I will try my very best to bring it back up.

This serves as a lesson for me. Now I know what to do. It's best if we do not use our master keys in logging in to keep our accounts safe. Let us use our other private keys or posting keys instead. And make sure to keep your passwords in a safe place.

Thank you steemians and thank you so much @steemit

Welcome back! Good to know you were able to get your accnt back :)

Thanks! I really thought it was over for this account. Thank God it isn't over yet :)

Oh gosh what happened? How did you get hacked?

I was trying to upvote then it asked me to log in. So i tried to log in and i got incorrect password. I asked help using steemit chat and they said that my password was changed by someone. I don't know how it was done but I'm glad I was able to get my account back.

Sad to hear this. I’ll promote you in our group so we can help you in your reputation. :)

Thank you so much! Highly appreciated :)
