Fresh update on Spam/Plagiarism/ Alt accounts-- Date- 10/05/2021

Here is a fresh update on alt accounts and plagiarism.

We have detected a few users running multiple/alt accounts & plagiarizing on Steem Blockchain. Based on the investigation using Steemworld.org, and on the premise of timestamp, we have conclusive evidence against the following users.

User	Post link	Date	Created Time	Edited Time	Remarks
@ashishyadav92	Link	2021-05-07	21:43	21:45	Both @ashishyadav92 & @yukti are apparently the same person running alt accounts

Case 1 (@ashishyadav92/ @yukti)

Date- 2021-05-07, Timestamp- 21:43

Initially, @ashishyadav92 published a dairy post at 21:43 Hrs, and there he mentioned "This is yukti katiyar". At 21.45 Hrs he perhaps realized what went wrong, and then immediately edited the post.

Date- 2021-05-07, Timestamp- 21:47

On the same day, at 21:47 Hrs, @yukti published the same post which was earlier published by @ashishyadav92 at 21:43 Hrs.

Both are apparently the same person running alt accounts.

Case 2 (@unbrokensword/ @aamirbashirr)

Date- 2021-05-05, Timestamp- 05:54

Initially, @unbrokensword published the post in Steemit Crypto Academy at 05:54 Hrs. But later at 12:10 Hrs, he edited the post and removed the content.

Date- 2021-05-05, Timestamp- 20:44

On the same day at 20:44 Hrs, @aamirbashirr published the same content which was originally published(and removed) by @unbrokensword

Both are apparently the same person running alt accounts.

Plagiarism is an act of stealing the content of others and representing it as their own content and/or passing off content without acknowledgment of the real authorship.

Most of the plagiarists now have a very limited window(might be a costly affair as well) to spam/plagiarize in Steemit Crypto Academy with the introduction of new thresholds-- "min 50 reputations & min 100 SP".

So a few spammers/plagiarists are trying to run #betterlife content with multiple/alt accounts to disproportionately take advantage of the reward pool.

We have so far found the aforementioned conclusive evidence. We do cast our doubt on a few more, the investigation is still on, once we have credible evidence we will report it here.

Running alternate accounts for disproportionate monetary advantage is an egregious violation in Steem Blockchain and should be appropriately responded to.

We will keep fighting this good fight. The coordinated community effort will defeat such insidious acts.

Thank you.
