Hello, my steemit family.
This is an informative post. My account was hacked yesterday, I will tell you what happened to me. I've been sharing an airdrop post for a few days. I am sharing these posts by expressing that I am quoting according to the rules. It is not my own proprietary content. There was a comment on my last post.

Got a comment from @nellahusna. I am sharing the screenshot of the comment.

The content of the comment was an airdrop event. I wrote my thank you message under the comment. Since Hive and siteemit were mentioned in the comment, I was curious and clicked on the mentioned link. it asked me for the metamask wallet security words, I realized that it is not secure and I did not log in.

Whatever happened, it happened after that and the same message was sent to many people under my name. I am sharing the screenshot.

This message went to many people. Some users gave negative votes to my articles, assuming that it was from me because the message overlapped with the articles I wrote. When I saw the negative votes, I didn't understand at first. When I logged into my account from steem world, I noticed that spam messages were sent to many people. Sorry for the downvotes because I didn't post these messages.

Then I got the message that my account was quarantined. I have secured my account by changing all passwords of my account. I formatted my computer and installed windows 11. I will format my mobile phone as soon as possible. I do not log in to steemit from my mobile with new passwords.

I don't know exactly how this happened. I would appreciate if friends who have knowledge about this subject write in the comment section.

The one who got this spam message, @antorv @bullionstackers

I have rearranged all spam messages and posted an informative message.

I am posting this article so that it does not happen to others.

Hello my friend,

Accessing unknown links is always dangerous. In the situation where you live, by clicking on the link, you have authorized someone else. These authorizations may include message authorization, wallet authorization and other different authorizations.

Click on the key icon that says 'Steem Account Authorities' from Steemworld.

If the authorized names appear in the 'Posting Authorities' section of the page that opens, cancel them by pressing the cross. Then click 'save changes' to save the changes.

If there are similar authorizations in the following sections, you can cancel them in the same way.
