If u can add it to my original post that would be a great help to others.
Let's continue to fight these crooks and enjoy our wonderful platform.
Thanks again
DarrenHey @simplymike thanks for the information mate! This comment tells what I did perfectly.
I actually did all of those things and sat for 4 hours yesterday editing and deleting. I counted over 150 phishing comments that were sent from my @mrbloom account. Prior to this I had spoken to a witness on steemit chat. @guiltyparties advised to do exactly what you mentioned which has been a massive help.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I’ll be happy to. Can you redirect me to your original post?
I must admit I started this comment because I thought you were accusing the ‘good-karma’ account for posting a phishing comment on one if your posts.
I wrote this post-length comment, explaining that the one from whose account the comment was posted was not the hacker. When I re-read your post, I noticed I had fallen into the same trap again. That’s how smart the hackers are. I read ‘goodkarma’ instead of ‘good-kama’. Fortunately, this was a mistake without consequences :0)
All I had to do was erase my one single comment - lol.
The more I hear, the more I think I was very fortunate having only 30 comments to edit. I edited them all, and then sent out a personal message to each one of those people, apologizing for being so stupid to get hacked. It took me ages.... Fortunately, most of them were very understanding :)
I’m going to make a post out of this later today, because it seems like the attack is still making victims every day.
Since I initially had no idea where to go or what to do, it might come in helpful for others.
See how easy it was to get fooled? I'm glad you only had a few comments to deal with... 150 was excruciatingly annoying, coupled with the fact I have RSI too makes for a painful mistake! Let's take this to the next level Mike... Use what ever pieces here from my original post and comments etc.
It will be a great guide for us all in the future.
Cheers mate.
Must get to work now.
Darren
