RE: Can someone beat @sami100 to the punch?

Asher, great post. Resteemed so minnows know how important it is to keep their private keys private. I made that mistake once when I was new by accidentally putting a private key in a memo field transferring to an exchange. Fortunately, it was just the memo key which I doubt could be used to plunder an account. Bottom line is, it's worth taking the time to change your keys if you think you are exposed. I'm happy @surfermarley made her money back by calling out the scumbag who stole from her.

Phew! You got lucky there :)

Yes the key change, whilst a bit nerve-racking is part of good account ownership. Just remember to back-up the new set :)
