I'm glad that catastrophic results were avoided.
However, @haejin was attacked by downvotes from over 700 compromised accounts. The motive and downvote pattern were clear, as I'm sure you know.
I have every confidence that you will also look into the most "obvious" links and connections so as to make a comprehensive investigation.
Will you also kindly forward a message to all the compromised accounts that downvoted @haejin to please reverse such votes? I'd be grateful.
Thanks for your hard and dedicated work! Your speed of actions were commendable.
Which @haejin was responding here? @ranchorelaxo (bikini bitch) is that you??
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@haejin is a piece of shit and nobody gives two fucks about removing the flags.
Go fuck your goat. Go ahead and look into those "obvious" links...fucking moron goatfucker. You think I'm the only one that doesn't like you here? You're about to see otherwise this coming week.
NOTE: I had to repost this due to malicious flags from Haejin.
He now talks in 3rd person about himself. This is like the Jerry Seinfeld episode. Haejin is Jimmy. Haejin is on Steemit selling his shitty TA Charts. Haejin needs more money. Haejin this, Haejin that. Poor Haejin got flagged. Boo fucking hoo.
Didn't you support the fundraising too?
I don't understand the recent flag.
I don't.
How do you SteemIt?
You get I was just trying to get some more support on the fundraising. You voted AND Rancho voted. Figured why not toss Haejin in the mix.
Bringing enemies together for a common cause and something like that. Anyways.
Thanks for smashing that upvote. Means a lot. They've been amazed how much strangers will support someone in need.

Hello @haejin we are ver sorry this attack was mainly targetted against you. We will make sure to spread the message about what happened as much as possible in the next days and already suggesting users to revert their votes if they wish to do so.
Why are you saying your're sorry to the ungrateful piece of fucking shit for? That cocksucker don't say he is sorry for fucking flagging all of my post!!!
I am ready to help you as a developer
I was one of those downvotes and the instant I saw it, I was terrified you would see it as an intentional act against you. Even more important, I was worried you would retaliate. At the time my latest post was this one about a fundraiser I am doing for a car crash that severely harmed a close friend's GF and an acquaintance.
true value of steem: social interactions. Specifically, using SteemIt to make an impactful change in society.I'm glad that you noticed this was a hack instead of an intentional attack. I encourage you to read the post and considering tossing it a vote as well. Your buddy, @ranchorelaxo, has already shown support. This has been a moment for many steemians to put aside personal conflicts and interests to show the
You aren't obligated to take action by any means, I appreciate you seeing the bombardment of flags and not taking retaliation. Obviously, the controversy surrounding you is (debatably) hyperbolic, or at least, very extensive. Seeing that you are searching deeper than surface level, "Oh I just got flagged a bunch", shows if anything, your interest in doing the proper situational analysis.
Thanks for your time,

Hello @haejin!
We at Utopian, as we have publicly stated, believe every affected user should review all of the given out votes and revoke them accordingly. While you were clearly the only real target and other posts were relatively random, we don't want to point fingers in one direction and ask people to review only the votes on your posts. We're happy to say that everyone should check every vote casted during that 1 hour period.
We're terribly sorry you were negatively affected by this incident! We hope you'll quickly recover from this unfortunate turns of events.
Hope this will not happen again. A friend complained that his account was used to upvote up to 77 accounts randomly and i feared for the worst. It is very disheartening for ugly minds to try to hack into the severs used by SteemConnect. We all will continue to work together and stand against every form of security threat that stands to disrupt the smooth-running of Utopia projects and Steemit in general. Sorry for the ugly experience @haejin
