private MEMO key

HOW: in a transfer operation published to the Hive blockchain.


The compromised account owner has now been notified in multiple ways. The identity of the user will be disclosed only in the monthly report in order to give them time to address the issue.

It's a shame that new users fall into this trap

well, it was just a bad copy and paste - his private key was sent in the transaction memo

hopefully no one takes advantage of it and that person is not harmed

They would only able to read his encrypted messages if the compromised account ever sent/received any.
