The details of the hacker account public keys:
Owner Key:
STM5GrJeAmHEqyYvgF4TwrFGcKhi8GmQX5pXrAZaAo9AGniF8jX2E

Active Key:
STM6ym5A1xZKVZoMQP3rFRwS2dWuXorkpV3htrjytbmHQ3Zyd35JL

The account is 3 months old only and it is receiving a lot of Steem/SBD from others since creation. Surprisingly things were not highlighted well earlier to the community.

The account has been flagged by @Spaminator. You can report any important information about the hacker in this post if you come across. It is possible that the hacker is stealing keys from some apps or browser extensions.

What to do?
Be cautious with your keys. Use posting key for maximum app logins. When you post your active key, be very careful as it has permission to do wallet related actions. Remember that only your owner key can do password recovery for you.

Remain safe!

I want to link my Steem account with my account on Snax blockchain using https://getnabla.app.
Please, create Snax account for me!

The most important thing to find out is how their passwords were leaked... Has anyone found that yet?

Thanks for the warning!
