It all started yesterday, when I found by chance my Steem post about two of our cats, in the account of @alghifari14 on Hive:
The post is copied and pasted without any changes, photo by photo, sentence by sentence. 'With dots and commas', as we say in our country in our native language.
This is my original post, made 6 days ago:
https://steemit.com/mybelovedcats/@soulsdetour/no-place-for-weakness
And this is the plagiarized post of @alghifari14, stolen 3 days ago:

After this unpleasant discovering, I took my time to investigate the case and I found....my God...so many things that compromise and damage the reputation of Steem as a blockchain and as a network. And all these compromising things that I found, are located in the community of Global Steem, as this user, @alghifari14 posts almost only there.
And if I have to make a dissection of his profile and posts, I can say right now that:

... Should I dig deeper?
But on Global Steem, it's not only him. There are other users like @ustazkarim - same case:

... Should I dig deeper? Because I can.
And I know, that there are many more such accounts on this blockchain, that actually have no place here.
So, with this post, I appeal to all responsible accounts to take appropriate action.

@steem.history, I really hope you will do your best to break this vicious practice in your community!
@endingplagiarism,
@endplagiarism04, I think this is a case for you and I have a great fate that you can put all this in place.
@steemcurator01,
@steemcurator02, I'm tagging you here, because I saw you mentioned in other posts where plagiarism was involved, so I hope you'll help here too.
@stef1 and @xpilar, I mention you here, not because I want to spam, but because I want to inform more people about this case and because I know that you too are actively involved in plagiarism cases. And because no one is insured that tomorrow they will not find their content on Hive. As it was my personal case.
Let's end this together! (Because I'm really worried about the future of Steem😢.)
Thank you all in advance! 🙏
There is a really long gap between the current plagiarized posts and the last post on the account. The wallets appear to be zeroed out. So, this might be a hacked account.

The accounts are too many, it's not just one. But yes, it could be that they are hacked or, more precise - they have always belonged to just one person that now is activated for some reason (maybe the high price of the bitcoin).

Well, I'm not sure I'm happy with the result, a lot more could have been done. But it's still something.
I hope that in the future this practice will decrease, or at least I will find the stolen content faster. 😅
