Technology is the DEVIL!
We all rely on it so much these days the world wouldn't work without it, but i do think if we didn't have technology people would be much more happier and safer!!!
The knowledge gap can be huge, and even a moment's inattention can cost tens of thousands.
I know people are even being bitten by 2FA, where hackers use a name and DOB to get a replacement SIM at a phone store.
Then they just request an email address password reset SMS and they're in.
What started as an additional layer has turned into a new attack vector, and mobile providers don't appear to be addressing the issue.
That in itself is a growing concern I know when I got a new mobile number I couldn't get into my bittrex account with the 2fa and had to speak with tech support. I've probably already given away lots of information already lol the latest attacks I'm hearing on discord servers are from people's posting the owner key in memo..
Yeah its a race between the white and black hat bots.
I understand steemit.com have removed the 'post' button when the site detects a key in the memo field.

That's a good concept. Different keys for different reasons I don't mind.
