RE: Be alert to your account security, account theft is trending again!!

in STEEM FOR BETTERLIFE9 months ago

It happened to me too and not once. I wish I could say it is because of selling etc but better keep an eye on those asking to click a link to vote for witness. More than once this is the reason why the account is stolen.

I think it's a bit useless to ask those who rarely post to check their wallet frequently since they won't be around.

To recover accounts is a real pain and I managed to do so but I couldn't explain it to others. It will be hard too if the explanation is in English and you can't oversee the entire picture. I know for example on a phone it is not possible to see as much as those who are using a pc.

I hope it all will work out fine, I doubt this problem will ever be solved and it's clear the passwords used can be hacked too. It's no guarantee or protection.

That is right, and I have successfully recovered more than 20 accounts from 2021 till now, the cases mostly happen when the price is high and to dormant accounts or those who rarely check their account operation. For this one perhaps it happened because the account is still connected to some third-party apps.

What kind of third-party apps? Is SteemPro mobile such an app? What about steemworld?
