RE: WARNING - Scam Website: Fake Steemit Look-alike Website Appears To Be Phishing For Your Logins...
Thanks go to @gtg and @guiltyparties too!
I tracked down an image of the original owner of the prophet account - we are not sure if the account has been hacked or not:
Yeah, Nolan Jacobson. Young guy, was involved with @steemsports and such... I'm trying to see if any of those guys know anything.
OK, thanks - I can see that the account has been upvoting steemsports in the last few days - so it seems unlikely then that the account has been hacked.
yeah i know him from the early days of steamspeak ! He was the youngest witness, 18 years old i think and was running steemsports, that betting game !! seems like not the sort of guy that would pull this bull crap ??!!Someone has managed to get hold of his private posting key ?? could a voting trail that has just recently closed be the source of this problem ! without naming names ))
I see, ok. That witness server has been inactive for a while - but since papa-pepper said that Nolan is a supporter of steemsports and I can see that the account has been used to upvote steemsports recently, it seems likely that he is actually controlling the account. we don't actually know he runs the website 'steewit' but he has linked there.
Yeah. I wish I still had his number. No reply from some of the guys who "know" him yet.
well he could be in control of that account sure why would he not be ?? But i reckon someone without his knowledge is able to post under his account name !! He needs to be notified and see his response !! Nice to see the team on this quickly ))
the domain in question was only set up yesterday according to this lookup:
Yeah, I'm still working on it over here. Technically, anyone with access to hist posting key could do it...
Good day to you Sir @papa-pepper )) So any news on this mystery ??
That could be an autovote that was previously set up...
Yes, it's possible he can change the password and end the issue - we shall see.
