I'd like to share with you how and why did my account got hacked.
Yesterday when I entered into my account I saw in the blog a message I didn't write. Exactly this one
I you can see there, they used my name to write a post from my account, my dollars where moved to my saving account, and I was included into the "idiots who didn't take care of the master key club"
So, why did they hacked it? Because I used my master key for everything.
How to avoid it, very easy:
- Take care of your keys
- Do NOT share the master key with any one
- Log in with your posting key, in the case you want to post something or just comment
I hope you never get hacked, but if you do, at least I hope you are so lucky as me and get hacked by a white hat hacker, who only wants to teach you a lesson for your better good.
Be safe, and don't let the door open to everybody :-)
I hope it helps.
Greetings dssb, I hope you enjoy it here!
I have observed that people get upset or frustrated when they ask someone to follow them, and that doesn’t occur. There was a reason, following someone was reserved for someone whom you identified with, or you enjoyed their posts, things of that nature.
That kind of following is almost negligible now, since everyone wants to be followed no matter what they have to offer. I have found a sort of solution.
Now days, I follow whomever I comment upon; no matter what. I ask too, that they follow me; I will up vote them as well, if they provide decent content. If I don’t really appreciate their posts, I mute them. Problem solved. So I will follow you, please follow me.
FYI: you actually get more rewards if you up vote others posts, and comment/reply to your own postings. In other words, the more people you help, the more people help you.
I, @carltong, have all kinds of information on my blog, including faucets for free coin. Check my blogs out for that data, as this welcome greetings is just that, a sincere welcome to the greatest social platform on Planet Earth.
I would share two more things with you; first and foremost AVOID BITCOINSBRAIN! It is a HYIP site that stole about $1000 from me. It is a scam. Here is my take on HYIP’s.
IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT’S NOT TRUE!
I was so gullible on BitcoinsBrain, that I took all my other coins and invested them into this fund. I was still texting and sending messages a full two weeks after they quit paying me. I could not grasp that I had been ripped off.
Secondly, @jerrybanfield is perhaps the strongest Steemian on Steem today. Check his site out for a free tutorial on how to use Steem. I took it and have learned plenty.
I hope things go well for you on here and once again, WELCOME to STEEMIT!!!
Sincerely,
@carltong

Hi @steemithat! There is never enough when we talk about security, but this time clearly I got relaxed, and this was a great for me take it seriously again. This is why I thought it could be useful to others as well. Unfortunately not everybody is going to be so lucky as me with person who hacked me :)
