Hello Everyone:

I will make an important announcement to you today. An account opened 9 days ago with the name -molly2 reached the wallet of many steemit users and transferred -steem + sbd. That's why I want all our users to be careful. Check your wallets regularly. The common feature of the accounts where Molly2 account is stolen and the steem + sbd transfer is that they are inactive steemit users. It is seen that Steem Power Down process is initiated in many stolen accounts. Soon below, I will give you some information about how you can protect your accounts. I have previously informed you that you should not click on any airdrop link or any link related to making money on the steemit platform. Please do not click the airdrop link in any comments or posts.

Click the Change Password button from here. Enter your current Master Key. Then click the CLICK TO GENERATE PASSWORD button. Back up your new password here and keep it in a safe place.

If you have logged into an application previously built on the steem blockchain with your password and this application is not currently active on the steemit platform, you must remove the access you have given to that application. If you've given access to an app and don't know how to remove it, don't worry. I will give information on this subject as well.

First, click on https://steemd.com, then enter your username on the search button. At the bottom, you will see the applications you have given access as below. I will tell you how to remove access as a shortcut below which app you have given access to

For example, if you have given access to the partiko application before, you can click the link below and enter your steemit username and Private Active Key to remove access. As an extra, you can see how to remove access to other applications in the post below, or I can help you by communicating with me on discord.
