EDIT: Issue is officially resolved! Refer to this official announcement from @utopian-io
Hey Steemians! This is a quick and short post to inform you guys that the Steemconnect access tokens of utopian.io are leaked. This is causing some unusual activities (upvote & downvotes) on a number of user accounts. So far, it does not seem to have impact on users' funds and wallets.
If you have granted authorization to the app via Steemconnect, do revoke the rights for now. To do so,
- Login to Steemconnect
- Navigate to Authorized Apps
- Choose to revoke Utopian.app
p.s. I first got the news in SmartSteem's discord and also from this post by @holger80.
The world is a dangerous place. This applies to the virtual world. These days, nothing is safe anymore. Sad. Stay vigilant always!
Thank you for keeping us informed. Cheers!

Yea, it is always good to change password regularly. However, in this case, changing password will not work as people have granted the utopian 3rd party app with authorization to comment and vote. The passwords were not stored with utopian.

Yup, just the access tokens. Should not have material impact on your accounts. Particularly, should not impact your funds.
