Hi, everyone!
I've met a robbing bee that invaded my hive account and stolen my honey.
Background story:
I'm in Hive for about 1 month and I've been posting pictures mainly, plus socializing around in this gamified "magic circle".
Each evening, I was thinking about how to implement some new digital entrepreneurship strategies in Hive, based on my professional online and offline experience.
So, between RMNs, doctors' check-ups, and feeling pretty much alive in Hive, I went to sleep each night with new ideas to make Hive part of my daily punctual and strategic work online.
Dang!
Well, my main focus is to manage this kind of risk.
Today, I've noticed my account got hacked. Everything went to a user, then to another. Went and talked about it in Discord with @tipu,@cardboard who explained to me that I might have a virus (Nada! Not real. I've checked.) And he also said there is nobody that can fix this or to whom I can file a complaint.
What can I do besides keeping my keys offline and avoiding suspicious sites?
Would get the hives in saving help? Or what other ways are there to keep them safe?
Please offer some solutions as I am new and need your advice!
Shame
on @probithive for this fraud

PS: I am now waiting for @cardboard on Discord to help me change my keys as I have no idea how to do it
Thank you for ANY idea you can suggest!

Sorry to hear what happened and after taking a look into that account you said hacked you. Seems that there are a lot of transactions that look to me like he is stealing a lot of tokens from people. That's a ton of traffic for a hive account with no blogging and no followers. Something needs to be done, I'm sorry I wouldn't know where to begin. First I would make another account and move any tokens you have left out. There has to be someone that can help. I'll ask around. Again I'm so sorry!

Thank you so much for replying, @thahodler I have investigated that account and the one he is sending money to today but since there is no #fraud policy around, it seems old, frozen accounts and new ones are hacked by this guy. I hope to get some punctual advice here and to be able to avoid such situations. And maybe this post will help newbies like me also get some insight and advice.
This guy has been scamming people by posting links to a fake airdrop IIRC so I am guessing you clicked on it and gave him your keys :( Tough lesson to learn but always be very wary of entering your keys on any site. It seems you are still able to post so they haven't changes your keys which is good. If you are able to regenerate new keys ASAP
@juliakponsford, I got this account back! Thank you for your support here and on discord!
Thats great news! 😃
Huggggs!
Here is my post on how to change your keys using PeakD's UI @regeneretta. It won some support from their technical people for its content.
As you are new, I would also encourage you to be careful with how you tag your post and into which community you choose to post it. This post may be viewed by some as only marginally related to finance and question it being posted in their community.
P.S. Hopefully you will take great care, if you choose to create a new set of keys, with keeping them private and secure, as no one should be able to take your crypto. Only by them having access to your keys is it possible.
P.P.S. You have a typo in your title ...

1 Q: When the money/hives are in my Savings, I have 3 days to stop a potential robbery attack. Right?Thank you, @roleerob I will follow your advice.
Happy to help @regeneretta.
I have never used the savings feature of my Hive wallet, so I do not know the answer to your question. Fundamentally, you need to be the only one with the private keys to your wallet. Once that is assured and no one else can touch your funds, you can make whatever financial decision you deem best, as to how you invest your tokens.

ACCOUNT RECOVERED. TY, @cardboard, hugs, and appreciation to @klye and gratitude to everybody supporting this process!
👍
Only by getting your active or higher keys can money move.
If they don't have your master key, you can just change all the keys.
On peakd.com, go to actions in the banner of your page, go to keys, follow the steps to change your keys.
If you have to recover your account, things are more involved.
Try to change the keys first.
Use keychain in the future and you don't have to worry about this.

Thank you very much, @antisocialist!
Where did you get your account initially?
What page gave you your keys?
Who is your recovery account set to?
If you can find your owner key, you can recover your account, if you have lost that, your account is unrecoverable.
Don't feel bad, I lost my first one, too.
It doesn't work. Though I am still logged in, it seems the hackers stole my password and I cannot do it. 17 hours ago as cardboard told me on discord.
I don't know how to recover this account.
You are still able to post so the old pass needs to work. Please check again, using hive wallet.
I am logged in Peaked and ecency also but if I log out I won't be able to log in again@cardboard it says Incorrect Password when I try to log in hive wallet
Try to use posting / active key.
I tried, it says Incorrect Password
