Every day there are new ways or forms of scam, is impressive lake and as you yourself have shared one sometimes do not explain how they have gotten the information to enter certain places, about 7 months ago began by entering my social networks, even managed to access my paypal account, but I was not sufficiently distrustful and thought that there would not pass.
But they got to my Hive account and removed all my tokens and seven HBD, I managed to recover my account a little more than 12 hours later, it was horrible there activate the security in two steps in many of my accounts, we believe it was some kind of package that my son downloaded on the laptop, the truth one no longer knows who to trust, I for example give me a very bad feeling HIVE users who do not have a single personal photo in their publications or do not have a presentation, just as there are decent and good people here are also and come those who want to steal from others.
That was a very bitter experience, I don't know why people wait for others to suffer so they can reap from them. It's always a terrible experience and it requires carefulness with everything we are doing because they come out with different ways to hack every single day.
It is good you were able to recover your account and you kept going forward. I would have been discouraged at some point.
