Blocktrades did not yet respond as we just now discovered it. It won't be easy to mitigate this by just blocking accounts, we will see how blocktrades plans to handle this.
For now, we've blocked users from putting one of our destination memo into their output memos. A phisher could still put a BTC address in there and ask for BTC to be sent there, but I think you would have to be a lot more gullible to fall for that. If this doesn't resolve the problem, we've also considered requiring a more substantial purchase in order to send a steem transaction with a memo, but we'd prefer to avoid that.
Very good work and very wonderful for you and your whole business team
I wish you more success and face the tricks facing the members of the Stemit community
You are always at the service of everyone
Thank you all and my greetings to you@blocktrades
This would be rather limiting unfortunately. For example, it would prevent someone from depositing to an exchange unless we made special exceptions for each exchange we wanted to support. But I hope the solution we've implemented will solve the problem (described in sibling comment).
when will phishing end at steemit ? they should be hanged they dont care about other's difficult situations those stealers should be hanged in public ! so no one could ever try to snatch they are robbers they must be hanged ! like all other criminals !

Memo field void if sender =/= recipient?
