RE: The Most Important Thing I've Learned From Getting HACKED!!
I only realised something was wrong when I saw @davemccoy ask if anyone had heard from you. It's bloody distressing to know this can happen when all we want to do is have some fun and earn some bucks. It's great that you are back in one piece and are writing about it, thanks for that. But I'm now confused about logging in ... I use the key which was emailed to me when I joined Steemit. It is not one of the keys which I find in the Permissions list (Posting, Active etc.).
Thanks. It is indeed a scary thought that it can happen all of a sudden.
To log in, I advice you to save the key you are using somewhere safe, and use your private posting key for your daily logins. I’m not sure what key SteemIt sends you when you sign up, but there’s a big chance it’s your master password.
It’s better to be safe than sorry, so better switch to your private posting key
