Right, but as long as you have your master key and the email you signed up with, Steemit team can help recover your account, so they shouldn't get too much, or nothing if they can do it in less than 7 days. @samstonehill lost the email that he signed up with, which is why he will lose everything.
Of course, best thing is to never lose your account.. :) thanks for the info, hadn't seen this scam.

I saw a post about the exact same steemian.. lithe account was hacked from what I believe and they are powering it down.

Got it thanks, it was so strange because the account was legit. How are they powering it down if they lost control? Was it the result of the DDOS?

I’m not privy to that info, however some believe it was from outside (DDoS), I however think it’s some discruntled ex steemians. There are quiet a few of them I have in mind.

The person who took over the account is powering down to take the money. There is no way for the original owner to do anything about it anymore at this point.

Just think of all the bitcoin wallets that got stolen over the years without anyone really noticing. This is a step in the right direction.

Just ignore it. I think the hacker is just phishing for more passwords using high level hacked accounts. Just dont click on the link and dont put in your password when randomly asked for a password.
If you did input a random password or not sure just change it and youll be safe.
