What does that mean for people not affected by the hack, who managed to have there owner key cold/offline and don't need/want a account recovery option via steemit.com?
I noticed the field "recovery_account": "steem" in my account data (not sure if it was there before the fork). Is that the account that can recover my account and can I remove that or switch that to a 2nd account I (or a person I trust) control?
Not to be skeptic of steemit team or something, really love what your doing here! I'm just curious about how things work and my options.

Hi that is the friend factor / trustee element of Steem. It has no authority to take ownership of your account, however, it cane used to identify you and help with disaster recovery in the case of a hacked account. It's described here: https://steemit.com/blockchain/@dan/steemit-releases-groundbreaking-account-recovery-solution
