Glad that this story has a happy ending @simplymike =) We can now look back and say for sure that it's been an exciting journey, and I ended up actually putting into practice a few security measures for my account too after seeing what has happened.
Better now than later when your account is worth way more!
True.
I’m now like obsessed with security. I’m going to spend tomorrow finding out Hat else I can do to keep my account secure.
I have quite a lot of money invested in SteemIt, and while I’ve always been really focused on protecting my other crypto wallets, I now realize that security isn’t SteemIt’s strong point.
Why there’s not an option to protect your account with two-factor authentication is beyond me...
Cool, a post soon to share your findings about security? Yes, that's right. But, to be fair, there are lots of things that the platform needs now as well
True... SteemIt will need to step up on a lot of things, or I’m afraid it will go down because of its flaws
Thanks for your help @wilfredn
