RE: I'm Back!!! How my Account Got Stolen, How to Avoid Having This Happen To You, & How To Fix It!

in #stolenaccount7 years ago

I think it's insane that there are just bots trolling every post just on the off chance that someone accidentally posts a key. Seriously how big of a douche do you have to be to put time into programming that?

Sort:  

I KNOW! It's absolutely crazy!! Clever, but fucked up!

Where there is financial gain, people will look for opportunity to take advantage of a quick mistake it seems. It must happen often enough for it to worthwhile to have a process to harvest it. Maybe a future feature of Steemit is to do a syntaxes check like the bot is doing and warn the poster to confirm before making the post to mitigate the oops scenario?

@jeftek, that is a really fantastic idea! Have you ever logged in through minnowsupport steem -- mspsteem.com? It's a platform that looks and functions exactly like this steemit does, saves all your info, and is run by the minnow support project. I think they actually do have a feature similar to what you are talking about.. because I will tell you a secret.. when I logged in through there and made a post a few weeks ago I accidently did copy & paste my password, and it wouldn't let me make the post. A notice popped up that said "you are attempting to publish your master password and we don't allow that".
