RE: The Most Important Thing I've Learned From Getting HACKED!!

in #mapsters7 years ago

I've seen this happening alot this week. I have flagged a few of these phishing comments, but I can tell the accounts were hacked and I feel bad doing it, but it's so easy for people to get tricked by it I know it has to get hidden.

I'm glad you were able to get your account back, I would have been going crazy. 😔

Thanks for helping to protect.
Could you do me a favour? Could you go check on those accounts you flagged, and see if they’ve edited the comment to make it harmless (that’s what I did after a tip from the people at Steemcleaners: I edited the phishing comments, so they now say ‘comment deleted’). If they did, please remove your flag, so they can can get their reputation restored?
When something like that happens in the future, maybe just head over to the Steemcleaners Discord chanel and tell them about it.
I did, and they instantly flagged all comments, then instructed me what to do (edit the comment). Once I had done that and the comments were harmless, they’ve removed all the flags again, making sure my rep score wasn’t damaged because of this...

I will absolutely go check and see if those accounts were reclaimed. I hate that this is happening to good people. 😔
