RE: Converting STEEM to Steempower is worth it for safety and curration rewards.
What if somebody hacks your account and changes your keys before you do?

There is a recovery process for such an event. Most people are registered by Steemit and thus it goes through them, but it depends on how your account was created.
So in the event of a hack I can get my private keys back even if the hacker changes it but I have to register through steemit.com ?
If you registered your account with Steemit, you'll go through Steemit support to recover your stolen account and change the keys. If you registered another way, the process will depend on who registered you.
Sweet. I didnot know about this. Thank you.
Thanks for answering the questions @demotruk.
