This is a phishing warning. The levels of malicious links in comments have reached extreme proportions. Nearly 500 accounts have been infected to date.
DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS IN COMMENTS
Example Phishing Scams
- Free votes
- 10% off votes
- Promotion bot
- Steemian Day
- Your post was stolen
- You stole a post
- Anything else that gives you a link
Other Scams
- Bots that trawl for passwords that were accidentally posted
- Bots that trick you into delegating all your SP
There are no short cuts. These hackers and scammers are trying to trick you because they know you're trying to write a good blog and are getting no votes. They know you may not speak English too well or that you're using a mobile phone. They know that 90% of comments out there are bots. They're playing you. Don't let them.
What They Want
- Your password
- Your money
- Your SP delegated to them
- Your account to spread comments with
What You Can Do
- Only use your private posting key (go to your wallet, then permissions tab to get it)
- Monitor your wallet transactions
- Recover your account if you can't log in (go to https://steemit.com/recover_account_step_1) and make sure you use the email address you signed up with
- Change your password if they have your private posting key (https://steemit.com/change_password)
- Go to steem.chat and ask for help in the #help or #steemitabuse channels
Report
- See something suspicious? Report here https://steemcleaners.org/abuse-report/
- Report in steem.chat #steemitabuse or in Discord https://discord.gg/xzZvzV3
If You Got Hacked
- Tell us and keep us up to date on how your recovery is going
- Don't delete the flagged comments, just edit them to remove the phishing links the hackers posted
- Make sure you change your password immediately if the hackers didn't change it
- Start the recovery process immediately
- If something went horribly wrong we will sponsor you a new STEEM account
Notes
- The money the hackers stole can't be returned to you
- If you lose some or all of your reputation in the process of being disinfected don't worry about it, it will come back over time
- If you get a odd error while changing your password, wait a bit -- a password can only be changed once an hour
- No, a hacker can't delete your account
FAQ
Read this first:
https://steemit.com/phishing/@guiltyparties/phishing-messages-faq
How do I check if I'm delegating my SP to a hacker?
http://www.steemreports.com/delegation-info/
How do I undelegate the SP?
Undelegating is just re-delegating but with zero 'vests' (SP). You can undelegate with Steem Connect by changing parts of this URL: https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=youraccountnamehere&delegatee=thehackeraccountnamehere&vesting_shares=000000.000000%20VESTS
Who can I ask for help?
Myself (@guiltyparties), other @steemcleaners members (@patrice, @pjau, @anyx, @pfunk, @logic), @arcange, @bullionstackers, or most project leaders who are familiar with how STEEM works or how to reach us. Remember, you need to contact us to get taken off the infected list!

I will be writing my own post as soon as I am back on track, and much appreciate your help when I was phished, @bullianstackers. I got locked out of my account - again - and it's a week tomorrow that I requested a recovery, and because no recovery email by Tuesday, I wrote to support because @steemcleaners can't help. No reply from support. A bit frustrating only being able to post from Busy and not being able to access any of the phone apps that integrate with the Steemit platform. Apologies for the rant. Feeling a little frustrated.

I would really appreciate some help. I have been watching feed and my wallet carefully and nothing is going out of the wallet and I am the only one posting on my account and commenting. Seriously, a week to get a recovery email, and when I was hacked it took less than 24 hours. I appreciate that there may be as many as 400 scam accounts, but I am now really beginning to wonder if this is my account or if there's a bug. I'm a bit of a techno-dunce, which isn't helpful, either. Thanks again, @bullionstackers

Thanks, @guiltyparties for this very clear exposition and for your help when I was phished. After trying to change my password again, I was locked out of my account. Tomorrow it will be a week since I requested a recovery. @steemcleaners can't help and still no response from @steemit support. I am now at a loss because I can post on Busy from my laptop, but can't access any apps from my phone, which adds to my frustration. Any advice much appreciated.
Once I am back on the Steemit platform, I will be writing my own post about my experience and what I have learned. Including about the support from the "real" Steemeit community.

It is essential that people are made more aware of this issue, no matter how many times you tell people it's just human nature to click on links - and they bait them so well - @saffisara had a comment on her post yesterday saying someone had copied her work - with one of her post titles turned into a link - looking at the source for the page I could see it was leading to another clone Steemit site that would capture account log in details if someone entered it. Fortunately she had not clicked it and we were able to flag the comment to invisible and she contacted Steemcleaners with the account details.

I'm using Cryptonite by Metacert to be protected on steemit.com and busy.org. This extension for chrome and firefox works great. As the original site is verified and checked, all new phishing sites are recognized automatically.
Steemconnect.com is not verified until now, but hopefully soon (has to be done by the owner of the project).

I think there's another extension out as well for Chrome. The more the better (as long as they're not phishing themselves). We've got a full out infestation here.
