A warning to all Antisocialists and newbs!

in #meme7 years ago

Do not give your active key to anybody.

This is not the meme that decentmemes.com wouldn't publish, but it still contains the sentiments.

I was asked to check out decentmemes.com.

It said to enter my posting key and post memes to get paid.

But, when I entered my posting key it said I had to enter my active key instead.

So, I did.

I knew it was getting changed just as quick as I checked to see if the site was worth my time.

I made the meme above.

It posted.

I then made a meme thanking decentmemes for making me have to change my passwords.

It didn't post.

How they blocked it that quick is good question.


I made another:


There was a bare bones site, that only functioned to create and post memes.

I'm not saying it is a scam, but it certainly raised questions in my mind about the security of my steem.

Be careful out there steemizens, somebody out there has to be the first 3rd party to scam a bunch of folks.

Sort:  

Yes, do not give any of your keys to any site that you do not trust explicitly.
They do not need more than the posting key to post anything to the steem block-chain.
