There should be an easily identifiable sign that "text" is actually an image, anytime images are posted in comments. For example, the word image should automatically appear beneath any image that anybody posts in a comment, malicious or not. This will alert users right away if an image is disguised as a comment.

These scum will stoop to any level for a quick buck. People have to be so careful as it's easy to be caught out. I really recommend using a password manager like Lastpass as that won't supply your passwords if the site URL is wrong, but even so there may be cases where even that can be fooled.

Resteemed for awareness and upvoted. These scammers tried a similar approach already where I was reporting some via comments - but using photos of known Steemians as a new step they try - be careful when adding any keys on any site. Always check the URL and never give out your master keys please!

Be careful about what links/images do you click on on Steemit, because you can end up hacked, like @surfermarly.
73 Reputation, more than 10 000 followers (10 302 followers at the moment), more than 2400 Steem Power (2400.079 Steem Power at the moment), and her account got hacked!
Sad to see what is going on on Steemit nowadays.
