Third Update to July 14th Security Announcement - Account Recovery Begins

in steemit •  9 years ago  (edited)

I recently wondered what happened to my account bu328281. It has over 2 million VESTS and some STEEM in it. I just didn't have the key to it in my wallet. Spent some hours searching for the key, but nothing.

What happened?

Right after the hack was made public I changed the account info - just to be safe - and what happened? It seems my account got listed in the "hacked" accounts in hardfork 9, and access to it was taken from me. It was never hacked! You just decided it was based on some assumptions.

This is not something I expect form a trustworthy blockchain-based currency, and I expect the developers to return the funds they stole from me immediately.

I am sure they did some type of algorithm on how the hack happened in the first place, so they changed your keys to be on the safe side. If this was the case, just go through the recovery process, and it should be fixed. Please confirm with @ned or @dan .

I'm kinda pissed because I didn't know what happened. I thought I messed up the key change and spent hours searching for the (not existing) key. A little note, for example on the steemit.com account page would have been great.
