RE: Hacked and Stolen on Hive 14 h Ago

in #leofinance7 months ago (edited)

Thanks. I did all that. Here: the request tab is still gray, it doesn't work: https://recovery.hivechain.app/ I tried to change the keys myself and fk it up, I lost all but two that I managed to put in my keychain wallet. No owner key, no master key...now I cannot do anything. I just managed to put the posting key and the memo, then I closed the file without saving the new ones...so, I hope @appreciator can help me at least to give me a new set of keys an check if my account is still under the hacker's influence. Thank you, Klye! Appreciated! I think I will just get out of Hive and let others know that this is not a safe place...the only thing I did with this computer over the last week was to come in Hive, check posts and play @kryptogamers I got hacked 2x in the last 3 months, each time just after playing this game that is still in the Hive ecosystem, one time my LinkedIn got hacked and now my Hive account...

Never give any key to a site you don't 100% trust.

even then if the site operator isn't malicious, if they have a security breech and poor practices in storing user data, your keys might be in their DB as plain text which could then be stolen.

HIVE is safe provided you don't ever share your keys online. Use Hive Keychain browser extension whenever you can.. If I site asks for your keys directly it's a huge security risk.

Hopefully you start thinking in a way that protects you from hacks.. Do not trust anything online and never click links that seem off or offer something too good to be true.

Try running ESET antivirus and malwarebytes scans just to make sure your system isn't compromised.

Have a good day sir.
