Nice Small Copy Update On Steemit - Keeping Your Keys Safe

Another small content update spotted a few minutes ago:

Under History, there is a small line of text which says:

Beware of spam and phishing links in transfer memos. Do not open links from users you do not trust. Do not provide your private keys to any third party websites.

I think this is rather neat, considering the increasing wave of phishing attempts we saw lately. And the site is slowly getting back to a more useful state.

@dragosroua Yes the site is pretty much back to Normal and I Thank you for pointing out this word of warning and caution that may save many a STEEMIAN from exposing their private password.

nice information friend, well that's actually good induction because when some one joins steemit they don't know initially that what's going on in steemit, it's nice to alert them before they gets into trouble.

Do not provide your private keys to any third party websites.
is Busy.Org and Chain.BB (and others) 3rd Party websites?
How could a noob tell?

Speaking of which...why not REMOVE ALL DOUBT...
incorporate the approved sites( those that need the posting key)...into the GateWay...
something like BlockTrades..
