RE: Some thoughts about phishing on steemit, my fathers account being compromised and wanting to bring more attention to the issue.
Why isn't steemit INC doing something similar? Like an official group they pay that goes around addressing issues like this..?
I am 95% sure that @misterdelegation, which @steemcleaners receives delegation from, belongs to STINC.
And to reemphasize @derangedvisions's comment:
The main thing that we as a community can do is to remind each other about the importance of using our POSTING KEYS to log in with. NEVER use your MASTER KEY. If you get hacked and have only used your posting key to log in, your money will be fine. All they will be able to do is post in your name and drain your VP, but if you have made a habit of logging in with your Master Key, then you gave them access to the whole account if you are hacked.
Oh I see. Thanks for the correction. I never got the impression I was working with steemit inc in any sense, it seemed like totally grassroots community stuff. And in regards to the master key point, maybe we could have a bot that reminds people to do that and to not click on suspect links as well.
