ONE DAY Genius

What you would think, if had find a post from 9 hours ago, with ~260 upvotes, and almost $60 collected in rewards, when you realize this is from somebody who created his steemit account less than 24 hours ago? When he has yet 6 followers, and has made only seven (7) posts so far? You scroll down his log, and between numerous re-steems, you see a few more posts shining ~240-260 upvotes and with $55-60 rewards. First what comes to mind is "a new whale"?" You go to his wallet, and .... can not believe your eyes - this account got 6.00 (six) Steem-power, and $153 of steem, from which every single penny was received from a Bittrex exchange.
Would you still think this might be a fair play?

But all this is by far NOT the worst thing I discovered today.

Thief of Steem-power

Somehow I was coming again and again this last week wondering, why does my SP recovering so slow. Today I checked my outgoing votes TAB, and was rather shocked - I have made already many 100% upvotes today, on the posts which I could not really remember seeing before. This is what I found:

I started to open those posts, and ...could not believe my eyes - most of them were true shit-posts, simple meme copypastes, etc etc. I would never ever upvote on such a posts even with my 0.1% of SP power. What is going on ???

The first thing which ring to my mind was "minnowbooster"! I had registered to that service before, and it was upvoting on my behalf time to time, for some small rewards. Went to check my account there , and nothing suspicious was found. None of these today upvotes were listed there. Yet one quite strange thing noted there - I could not withdraw my pending balance on a numerous attempts. I tried my best - nothing worked. I felt confused.

Then I went back to the list of my upvotes ( see above) and started checking each post one-by one, trying to see how on earth all these posters managed to be so successive. Most of them were already collected $60-$280, and even more.
Very soon I discovered, that TOP upvoters on each post repeats, again and again. And again.
This is a short collection of my copy-pastes of these upvoters:

My active password must be compromised !

And , ...I am not the only one! There are a bunch of dolphin accounts compromised, and all them used now to steel the steem power, by upvoting some garbage posters.
Naturally , the very first think I did was changing all my Steemit passwords. ALL.
Then I continued my research. I checked all posts from these SEVEN Steemit users, on which my upvotes been executed in the last 24 hours.

http://steemit.com/@low-high
http://steemit.com/@mrpabel

A total I have examined 22 posts. Collected all other upvoters into one excell table, and sorted out who else been upvoting these SP harvesters, and how many times.

Here is what I got :
