*HACKERS* Voting/Downvoting STILL ON !! What the Hell ??? FRIDAY MAYHEM !!
Friday, when i receive a call from @face2face notifying me that, the @utopian-io account got hacked, and hacker Voting and Downvote on many account, and sucking up all our Voting Power. Thanks god it was not "Friday the 13"
Again a Security breach in Steem Blockchain, and that too o ne of the major Platoform on SteemConnect, i.e @utopian-io who suppose to help streamlining many Open Source platform. Hearing the News, I quickly checked Steemdb account and found, following unnecessary voting done from my account without my consent
To my surprise, sooner many messages started to flash around the different Discord channels, asking user to "Revoke Tokens" from all addon apps on Steemblockchain. With no second wasted for safetly my account,, I revoked all the rights .....
Later on, @utopian-io, comes with the follwing explanation,
confirming the breach in the DB account, and the users wallets are safe...giving many a hope to relax and take a sound sleep.... but does the issue really sorted??
@elear and @utopian-io just for the information, the mayhem still going on...A while ago, follwoing Votes gone into one of the unknown account, without my knowledge.
Urgently do something to stop the nuisance and havoc created around Steem blockchain.
@haejin because of the unknown mayhem created due to lack of security, the following post get down-vote from my account, although now I have remove the down-vote. It was not my fault and I have nothing to do with anything. Team @utopian-io is working to get the issue sorted.
Just to make aware to all #steemit users, the issue has not yet been sorted yet, and your voting is still going on. Many unknown users are getting multiple votes and get famed over night. Just an example showing a account who are enormous votes, with 100 % due the security breach.
Follwoing are the few links that were voted from my account, To my understanding, I have removed all my upvotes from them, because it was not from my end.

How to revoke apps? I am using Dlive, Dtube, Utopia, Busy, Minnowbooster. I don't trust any app now. Utopia is reputed site. Two upvote done by bit from my end. I was busy in my study so i ignored it. Thanks for update.
@everyone
CHECK YOUR VOTES. There's an authorization compromise.... Pulling the auths stops the votes; some of you are flagging Haejin 100% and voting some random stuff 100% without your knowledge.
warning point_right If you threw a flag or a vote in the last two hours you don't recognize, pull all authorizations. Let me know if you need help with that.

DO IT ONE AT A TIME. CHECK YOUR VOTES. CHANGING KEYS DOES NOT REVOKE AUTHS.
star If you didn't vote, just keep your eyes open, don't change anything yet. Don't panic! Check your votes it's a good habit to get into.
CHECK FIRST before you panic
Thanks Bro
