I see more and more accounts with good (more than 50) reputation starting posting scam comments under various posts. So there are more and more hacked Hive accounts. People are not careful enough with their Hive account keys.
Recently I started to see @bjblendah82 to post spam/scam comments under various posts.
Please, be extra careful. Be extra careful extra cautious around links in the comments. If you click on a wrong link, and enter any of your high level account keys, then you can easily lose your access to your Hive account (or the funds in your Hive account).
That's definitely not me!!!!!
Then someone have access to your private posting key, and posting (commenting) scam in your name. I recommend you to change your Hive account keys, and store them in a safe place.
Thanks for this information. We all have to be vigilant.
Some are just here to steal and destroy.
Let's all be guided and not become a victim.
Cheers!
With being careful and aware, the whole internet becomes a safer place.
Thank you for the support.

@xplosive(2/5) gave you LUV. H-E tools | connect | <><
I haven't clicked on any links nor seen any links, should I still change my keys?
Yes. For the safety of your Hive account. Somehow someone have access to your private posting key without your knowledge, and scam comments are being posted with your Hive account.
How do I get new keys, supposedly they give you this only once?
You can reset it in your Hive wallet anytime you would like. You can find detailed descriptions/guides from various users.
For example @emekasegun posted this guide two years ago in the GEMS community.
It is becoming rampant here lately
Yes. It is crazy. More and more Hive accounts are being hacked.
These terrible people can't leave us in calm:( Reblogged.
Thank you. Hopefully more and more people will see it, and be careful around the links in the comments sections of the posts.
Thanks so much for the info.
It's increasing more and more daily, that I kind of stop clicking any link again.
There are safe links too. The most important is to be careful where (on which website) do you enter your account keys. Scammers often make very similar websites to the originals. Both in address and in looks.
Hmm it's very bad how people want to earn from where they didn't sow, and rip someone off their labour earning.
I'll be careful around most of it.
Thanks for everything.
If you have clicked on such link before, consider changing your password.
Thanks, I don't think I've, but to be on a safer side, I guess I'll have to .
If you have clicked on such link before, consider changing your password.
