Yeah, with much tears in my eyes as I had to go down the search engine to search for how to create a new hive account. This is a process that i went through last year, precisely March 2020 just at the beginning of the shutdown and lockdown due to the Covid 19 worldwide pandemic. I was so happy when i got to hear of Hive which is a censorship free platform where there is freedom of speech.
I have participated several times, cannot count how many times i use the tag on Twitter, then using my account that was blocked by The Twitter community, handle : maxwellelite1 but it got blocked by the Twitter community and then i went ahead and opened a new account, handle : @DRealMaxwell and then only for me to make a post like 4 hours ago and then i get a comment in the comment section and its like
"HIVE AIRDROP" Thought it was legitimate from the Hive community due to my patriotic nature to the Hive community since i got acquainted till date.
Still trying to recover from the shock of losing my Twitter account and on some PTSD medication then i opened my Hive account some hours ago and i saw this.
Since am an active member of hive, I thought it was a giveback to the community process not knowing that it is SPAM. It was indeed a phishing link whivh was embedded into a hive link. As at the moment that I clicked on the link, it redirected and needed my authority and asked for my active key, immediately i clicked AUTHORIZE, i automatically lost access to my account.
Before I could realize what's happening, coins were transferred from my Hive Wallet
The Hacker started powering down some amount of Hive and what grieves my heart is that the GATEWAY to my peakd.com account @maxwellelisha19 and the gateway to my LEOFINANCE.IO account... Very very sad to lose my LEO @maxwellelisha19.
He transferred the HBD and HIVE to an account named CONTESTBUDDY. I have lost all the earned coins for a full year has be taken by scammers. Never thought that i could be SCAMMED on a platform like this.
WHERE DO I START FROM WITH ZERO HIVE, ZERO HIVE POWER, ZERO LEO, ZERO LEO POWER, ZERO FOLLOWERS, ZERO POSTS..?
I REALLY NEED SOME HELP.
Basically I fucked up by clicking on the link but then how many innocent, ignorant people will also click on such links..
Please I will appreciate if this community developers can track the powering down and any information needed from me to help catch the culprit that can help, i will provide to help apprehend this culprit, to prevent more harm to the community members.
I need to see my Doctor, Physician, Psychologist and book an appointment..am losing it..
I will appreciate all forms of information as comment in the comments section below of how i can build my account from zero, how i can protect my account better, how i can have more followers, how i can get more Cryptocurrency updates, how i can have some hive power and Leo power. I really need some feedback.. i need to get back to my feet....
Am off to the hospital....back to my device later.
I need your suggestions and comments and upvotes..
You did not fuck up by clicking on the link, but in the next step, when you gave your PW away. Which you should know not to do! This IS NOT some social media account. This is your money, and you should treat it ike that. (Sorry for the scolding)
Did you try account recovery? I am not sure how that works, but you should research it.
For now I can only help you with a vote.

@captainklaus you have tried your best for him,anyways to the poster,i think this is the reason why the HIVE team need to keep updating or reminding people on how they can ensure that their hive wallet is secured and what they need to do to recover their accounts....i am sorry for your sad experience @maxelitereturned

In a decentralized system it is no good asking for some 'team' to tell people. People do tell people.
This is really sad, I saw same post but i did not clicked on it as it was not looking right,
Thanks god.
We can only help you with upvote at this time.
I hope you will be able to recover ur account soon.

Hello, @maxelitereturned. Some similar misfortune happened to me in these days :(
@darkwarrior33 hacked my account and stole my HIVEs from power downs. I stopped the power down some minutes ago, but I'm looking a way to stop that dirty hacker.
Even I'm calling for supernatural help (YES, no matter how much material technology the hackers have, the laws of universe are supremely superior and they must be punished in some way by the laws of karma). I hope these evil people to be caught and punished from anywhere.
