I've extracted many level comments over the last 5 days from steemsql and look at them over the last few hours and concluded these accounts have likely be hacked and used to spam comments. I've mentioned some of them previously. I think some of them know already but some does not. I know at least someone has been going back to delete these spam comments to salvage but some funds have moved.
过去几个小时，我从steemsql中提出许多留言查看近五天的留言。发现了这些户口可能已被黑了并用发了多垃圾留言。 有些是我之前提过的。 我认为其中一些人已经知道，但有些人应该不知道。 我知道至少有人已经开始删除这些垃圾留言但有些钱包里的款已移动了。

If people would generally just use the posting key, they could be used to spam but not lose money!!!

But that's still bad enough for one to be flagged down really bad.

Thanks a lot for alerting everyone. I found, that it is essential, to always check the URL, before entering any passwords. Someone tried to fool me with "steemil.com" instead of "steemit.com"... ahrd to notice a difference, if one doesn't pay attention!

you would think a steemit password would be hard, since it is a mile long, but my Norton Security classified the strength only as medium.
But this here is something else: people giving their password up foolishly to bogus sites, which reminds me of all the hacked WhatsApp accounts, the latest scam: people "upgrading" to WhatsApp Gold. Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute.

Like Facebook: people open links on messages that say nothing more than "lmao, this is funny, check it out" .... and then they are surprised that their accounts get hacked and they themselves are spreading the same shit.
BTW: I run Steemit ONLY on my computer, not on my phone. I would not trust my phone with anything like that which I consider sensitive, such as my banking or my website host account. I run scans on my computer every second day, and usually wind up with 0 treads found. Ages ago some stuff wound up in quarantine after I opened a (probably hacked) artist friends website.

To make things worse, Steemit these 2 days is very slow and the relogin prompt keeps appearing when using iPhone. Because the prompt window has no url, I became skeptical to login.

I don't know for sure but a number of them probably went into some fake site. one of which was the one I posted about before. then these hacked accounts generated more spam comments to lead more people to the fake sites. there are at least 2 I saw. one is steewit and another is steemil . both are dot com.
