Hi hope777 hope you are keeping well. I like your photos. Have you bought a new camera? Also just a quick warning about a phishing scam currently taking place. I hope you are using your posting key and not your active/master key to log in and out of your account. They are hacking accounts (possibly of bloggers) you know and sending out links to a phishing website that is a replica of steemit but with a slightly different address (steewit dot com) so as to trick you. Once you land on that website you could easily be tempted to log in as you think you are still on steemit. They just cleaned out enjoywithtroy's account. If they get your active/master key then you will lose your SBD/STEEM. If they get your posting key they can still cause trouble but at least your funds will be safe. Once logged in with your posting key then you can use your active/master key to do transactions if required. Be careful not to save your active/master key over your posting key. Keep safe and be careful of any links.
Hi @readallaboutit, I am well thanks, glad you like my photos. I took that photos with hubby's Samsung GalaxyS6. I heard about poor Troy. I suppose I locked in with my master key but I stay logged in and the only place where I use my master key is with steemconnect. It is scary. Thanks for your concern, and how are you doing?
Hi hope777 I'm doing fine I was just taking a break from posting and trying some trading on the internal market. Unfortunately the phishing website is another live version of steemit and most people won't notice the difference. The only difference will be web address and you will be required to re enter your log in details. Here are 2 screenshots:
I'm sure as these hackers will evolve into more deceiving methods to trick you into handing over you keys. The master key was only required to log in when you first joined and then changed thereafter. Read the security section in FAQ when you get a chance. Your SBD and STEEM is not safe in it's liquid form. They say that the savings option is much more secure as it requires 3.5 days to transact and I assume to stop transactions that you didn't approve. I've stopped trading and moved my funds back into steempower for now as this scam I know even I could be tricked into and I have 25 years PC experience. It's just a suggestion LOL. In my opinion because our balances are so exposed it's a hackers paradise.
