Never give your password and double check on which website you really are!
I already warned you about several (potential) scam attempts (see bottom of this post for a list of them). Here is a new one.
Scam Description
The scammer publish the following comment on user’s post
If you click on the link in the comment, you will be redirected to the following site:
If you click on the “Click to Subscribe” button, the following page will be displayed:
NOTE: the domain name displayed and the background image may be different from the above screenshot
The site is a fake SteemConnect login page!
The goal of the creator of this website is clearly to steal your credentials to hack your account!
Preventive action activated
I will add any account sending phishing links to the black list of my Warning-Bot and it will issue warnings with a link to this post, notifying users of the malicious activity of those accounts.
To protect yourself, you can:
- always double check before clicking on a link, especially if this links take you away from steemit.com.
- verify the reputation of people writing comments on your posts. A user with a low reputation shoud trigger you attention.

reminder
A bit of paranoia is the basis of security.
There are a few simple rules to follow in order to avoid having your account hacked:
Rule 1: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER use or give your owner key or password!
Rule 2: Use your posting key to login, post and vote on trusted websites like steemit.com or busy.org.
Rule 3: NEVER give your active key as this key allows to control your funds! Only use your active key for special operation like money transfer or account update on trusted websites like steemit.com.
Rule 4: Anywhere else, if you are requested to provide any of the above key: RUN AWAY!!!
4 simple rules. It's not much to remember. Follow them scrupulously, and you will only have to laugh at unsuccessful attempts from scammers.
Spread the words, resteem this post to your friends, and you will make the platform safer.
