RE: ACCOUNT SECURITY UPDATE, AND FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS!!
O wow, I never expected him to get his account back, he is lucky for sure! Glad he got it back though! I haven't read his entire post, but as I understand he did lose his master key to the person who hacked him. That's why I never expected him to get back his account. And yes, that does indeed beg the question how Steemit inc. was capable of getting it back on a decentralized system...
It doesn't make sense to me, I know steemit can recover accounts if they know a previous master key of the user within 30 days, but it looks like they shut the account down before they regained access?
Maybe there is a 30-day limit that they can recover it even when it has been changed by the one taking over the account. That's the only thing I can think off, it would be nice to have a clear answer on this though...
That's correct. You have 30 days to get account back, as long as you have a previous master key. But I'm just confused on how Steemit was able to block the account.
The same way they gave back the account? I mean once they give the account back to the original owner it seems only logical it gets locked till it's actually in the hands of the original owner. As I understand this 30-day policy of getting back your account means Steemit inc. gets hold of your account and gives it back to you (verifcating by the master key that you are actually the owner).
That might make sense that it was in transition of being handed back to the original owner. Would be good to get clarification from steemit or someone privy to it.
