RE: Some thoughts about phishing on steemit, my fathers account being compromised and wanting to bring more attention to the issue.

in #steemit6 years ago

Perhaps one day STINC will provide a means for a trusted delegate to completely block a person's account, (freeze all STEEM POWER), so the account can take no actions at all. It is my understanding no SP means no Bandwidth for actionable items such as voting, posting, and transferring funds. Lock the account down until it is determined that the funds were intentionally transferred by the fund owner. Of course the only time the account would be locked down would be if the original fund owner made a complaint. Also all other accounts the hacker account sent funds to would also be frozen.

That sounds like a pretty good idea to me. To be able to freeze suspicious accounts until an investigation is done and such. I admit I don't totally understand how all this works, but it just seems weird and wrong that we can all see a crime taking place and do nothing.
