RE: My Steemit account was stolen and recovered

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Yeah, I notice this becoming more and more of an issue --hackers using innocent accounts to spread their phishing links. It's a good thing steemit.com now has a sign beside links that lead away from the site. Generally, before clicking any link, even usernames, one must check the site it leads to just to be super sure. And check it well too: sleemit(dot)com, steeemit(dot)com and șteemit(dot)com all seem like the real thing at first glance.
I'm so glad you got your account back. I love your posts --they are so real and true.

Sort:  

If you can edit the domains for me I'll unflag you. Use sleemit(dot)com for example. Some browsers and extensions make domains clickable.

Okay... that's noted. Edited ✅. Will be more careful in future comments and posts. ☺

Yes we need to be very careful in the future. There are many of them out there :(
