RE: More possibly hacked accounts | 更多可能被黑户口 (by @ace108)
Thanks a lot for alerting everyone. I found, that it is essential, to always check the URL, before entering any passwords. Someone tried to fool me with "steemil.com" instead of "steemit.com"... ahrd to notice a difference, if one doesn't pay attention!
you would think a steemit password would be hard, since it is a mile long, but my Norton Security classified the strength only as medium.
But this here is something else: people giving their password up foolishly to bogus sites, which reminds me of all the hacked WhatsApp accounts, the latest scam: people "upgrading" to WhatsApp Gold. Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute.

Like Facebook: people open links on messages that say nothing more than "lmao, this is funny, check it out" .... and then they are surprised that their accounts get hacked and they themselves are spreading the same shit.
BTW: I run Steemit ONLY on my computer, not on my phone. I would not trust my phone with anything like that which I consider sensitive, such as my banking or my website host account. I run scans on my computer every second day, and usually wind up with 0 treads found. Ages ago some stuff wound up in quarantine after I opened a (probably hacked) artist friends website.
Good for you. Hope purple people can learn from you
you're welcome. check and double check. there's another batch going by steewit.com instead of steemit.com
Damn, now I'm suspect the next may be steernit.com
Yikes... that one is hard to spot too! I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled. Wonder if steemconnect is going to be a target too, if t isn't already. I'm still confused, when I see a V2 version...
I've not put anything through steemconnect :-) but I may try with a new account
steewit, lmao - steewit for dimwits
