MinnowBooster: Tips for Keeping Your Account Secure!

[minnowbooster]

Hi everyone. Our number one concern is helping Steemians build and grow their accounts on Steem also taking care of the security of your accounts when you interact with Minnowbooster.

In the last days we've noticed several phising attempts connected to your Minnowbooster accounts in an attempt to steal your private keys. For this reason, we've compiled a post on how you can be sure that you're dealing with the one and only Minnowbooster.

Being aware of the following information below will help you keep your account safe from bad actors:

1.) Verify the Link:

---

Minnowbooster has only two valid URLs:

https://www.minnowbooster.net/
https://www.minnowbooster.com/

If anybody sends you different links than these, they are most definitely not connected to the Minnowbooster service.

But, this is not enough to protect yourself. Unfortunately, it is really easy to lure you on a site with an almost identical address.

Therefore, most browsers have a built-in protection for these cases.

As an example, you'll notice something similar to this in the browser, which means that the origin of the link has been verified.

Do not trust the site if this is not displayed!

To be 100% sure you can open the additional security info.

On chrome click at the 3 dots menu -> More tools -> Developer tools and then click on the security tab. Or through the shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+C

Which will show you this:

And on "View certificate":

Which shows you if the site is really who it says it is.

If this certificate doesn't say it has been issued to www.minnowbooster.com you're also on the wrong website!

This way you'll be able to verify the identity of any site.

Additionally we've compiled a list of additional info:

2. How to identify us:

---

• Minnowbooster will contact you via memo solely from the Minnowbooster account, do not trust memos from other accounts as long as we do not publish any different info;
• Minnowbooster login is only via Steemconnect, we will never ask you to enter your data via a different login.
• There is only one official discord: https://discord.gg/BKa5C7R

The Minnowbooster staff:

• Always has a rank on the Minnowbooster discord. Do not trust people without a rank even if they say they are part of the team;
• Will never ask you for any of your private keys;
• Will never ask you to transfer your funds to them;
• Will never ask for your personal information.

Additionally, only people with the following ranks are officially part of the Minnowbooster support team.

MinnowBooster is a Community Effort!

Keeping your account safe and secure is a high priority of ours. If you see anything suspicious that needs investigation, please don't hesitate to join our discord server and tell one of our mods. We hope these tips have helped you to be more aware of the best practices required for using our service. Have a great day!

thank you for your security info. i have logged in minnowbooster several times with steemconnect. Do you think steemconnect is 100% safe and secure

[reggaemuffin]

Steemconnect is pretty secure (unless you give your posting or memo key away to random apps you maybe should not have trusted).

[gamsam]

Well I actually never knew of the .com extension. Thanks for all the tips and advice, a lot of people out there need it. The phishing attempts these days are continually on the rise and only educating people about this can stop it.
I've even seen a fake steemconnect around here somewhere. Everybody should keep their eyes open and watch out for this attempts.

[reggaemuffin]

The .com extension is just for the people who by habit type in dotcom so they don't end up getting phished. Once you log in you get redirected to .net and we suggest you to use the net version.

Keeping your keys safe is really important. Always be alert and think about what you are giving away. There are many scammers in crypto and they get smarter every day.

Thank you @minnowbooster for this educative post and it's really wonderful know that your number one concern is helping steemians build and grow their accounts on Steem.

With this post alone you have helped steemians secure their account and as well as given steemians the encouragement to steem on knowing fully well you are solidly behind them. This post needs to be seen by all steemian so in my own little way of spreading this message I will do a resteem. Thanks @minnowbooster for all the support which I have greatly benefited from. We are happy and grateful to have you onboard the steemit blockchain.

[cryptoeater]

Keeping my account secure is the most important thing to me here on the Steem blockchain, all my hard work and effort will be gone if I don't take good care of it! Do you reckon something like Google 2FA and linking accounts could help our blockchain towards more adoption and current users to have more ease of mind?

I wrote an article about it just recently!

2FA and Linking Accounts to Protect us Against Phishing and Lost Passwords

Wow, this is really helpful because i did not know the .com extension exist.

This has been very helpful in securing our account.

[teuku.reza]

So helpful when i'm using @minnowbooster platform. Thank you @minnowbooster

[feralblowfish]

Resteeming this as account security should be everyone's top concern here.

[syedaamir]

I think every one should take care while using minnowbooster like me, and this post is also helping many of the newbies about minnowbooster working methodology.

But here my suggestion to you is that, minnowbooster should also try to secure its user all the time by making a longer registration process to secure many accounts by adding some security questions in start.

And many other tools should also be included.

Thanks for sharing nice information.

[reggaemuffin]

We purposefully have no security questions, as they are insecure readthereasonshere

We are improving our authentication process all the time and have multiple ideas that can add security like two factor authentication. But in the end, steemconnect is pretty secure (unless you give your posting or memo key away to random apps you maybe should not have trusted).

Thank you for official information from minnowbooster, related fraud on behalf of the party of the minnowbooster. I was a victim of the fraud, but unfortunately the thief can not get anything from me because I am immediately reported the truth link he sent to me to the @minnowbooster official in discord, a reviewer @news-today#8210 (thanks to you) quickly responded to my questions and says that link is pishing link and recommend me to report that link to hostinger.com, and I've done it. Thank you was safe my steemit account.
