Actually, we - @noisy & @lukmarcus - have gained access to 9 passwords, 2 private active keys and 64 private memo keys, but first, TL;DR:
TL;DR;
- no, we didn’t hack Steem blockchain
- no, we didn’t hack steemit.com website or any other service build on top of Steem
- we didn't steal those funds, despite the fact that we could easily do that
- we changed passwords of all compromised accounts
- we transferred all funds into saving accounts of each account (to show, that we do not want to take them)
- the problem is with 2 accounts to which we have active keys. We cannot change password without old password or owner key, so we make sure, that those funds are safe on saving accounts.
- what we did, we exploited a flaw in design of steemit website, which caused that many users made exactly the same fatal mistake:
What actually did happen?
Few days ago I noticed in my cousin's wallet, that he accidentally pasted his own password into wrong field (a memo field), when he made a transfer. I warned him, so he changed his password. But this got me thinking... if he could make such mistake, anyone could do that! And unfortunately I wasn't wrong :(
So I wrote a script, which analyze all transfers in Steem history, which checked each memo, whether it is a match with current public keys of a user:

The fix
I created and submitted a fix, to prevent such mistakes in a future:
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/pull/1464
FAQ:
My Account was hacked - what I should do?
Actually, I cannot reach you on steemit.chat or discord to give you your new generated password. Why is that? Because no one can have a certainty, that you actually have the same login on different service. I do not want to risk giving access to your account to someone who just pretend to be you.
You should go to: https://steemit.com/recover_account_step_1
and you will be able to restore access to your account with a help of steemit and your email address.
Important
My account is on a list, but only private memo key was exposed. What should I do?
You should change your password immediately.
You can do that on: https://steemit.com/@<your_login>/password
Right now (according to my knowledge) exposed memo key do not make a damage, but it was said few times, that those private keys in the future might be be used to encrypt private messages. Exposed private memo key would mean, that anyone could read your private messages. You don't want that, right?
What next?
You can expect from me in very near future few posts about security (for total newbies and for developers):
- How private and public keys works. What is the difference between password and a private key
- Why Steemit didn't detect that I checked passwords of 183388 users
- Very detail explanation of how passwords are stored by steemit in your browser, and why it is secure
- How to set own password, which is not generated by Steemit
- How to make you account on Steemit more secure, by using only private posting key for every-day use
Make sure, you follow me, to learn more about how to keep your fortune earned on Steemit more secure :)
nice work, noisy! with community heroes like you and @lukmarcus, we are continually becoming stronger than ever

Thank you for being ethical and responsible in this case.
BTW, I don't think that this is
There's already "This Memo is Public" note there.
This is rather Problem Between Keyboard and Computer type of bug. You can't prevent users from hurting themselves. If one note didn't help for all, adding second and third probably would reduce risks a bit, but there would be still those who would ignore it.
Anyway, good work.

Technically you are right, but still I believe, that if so many users are making exactly the same mistake... something is wrong. Guys like @dollarvigilante (a guy who have the biggest number of followers on Steemit) exposed his private memo key, @virtualgrowth and my cousin - @lukmarcus accidentally exposed own passwords - those guys are experts about Steem and Steemit when you compare them to average Joe.
I believe, that we can do things a little bit better, thats why I provided a pull request with a fix :)

I didn't... I haven't been hacked.

there are 4 pair of keys: active, owner, posting and memo. Every pair has public key and private key. Under any circumstances, you should never expose any of your private keys.
As I wrote in a post, right now exposing a private memo key is not very dangerous. But it was said few times, that in the future memo-keys will be used to encrypt and decrypt private messages. So basically every your conversation encrypted with your memo-key would be basically public for everyone who poses your private memo key.
Also... even right now everyone with your private memo key could try do some kind of social-engineering atack, by pretending that attacker is you (because technically speaking only you should be able to sign messaged with your private key).
So.. no, you account was not hacked right now, but with private memo key exposed, your account could be attacked in a moment when private-memo-keys would gain some new role in Steem ecosystem.

It may be an error 40, but it still should be easy for steemit website to check if the memo contains an account key (or what likely is one) and give an error message for that.
Why keep an error source open just because YOU would never make that error (which of course say at least 50% of those who make it).

Yes, you are right. I need to be extra careful when I do transfers. Thanks! Hopefully Steemit may find a way to make this better. Maybe by adding some PIN number or something, that is not used to login, but only for transfers, and make it not work unless you are already logged in to Steemit (PIN would not be blockchain based). Or something.

Anyways, If they just made you pick a password with at least 20 characters, 1 capital, 1 lowercase, 1 special symbol, 1 number, and no more than 3 repeating nums/chars/symbols, i think that would be fine.

As steem becomes moe and more valuable, black hat hackers and identity thieves an other greedy bad guys are going to want our precious steem!
Locking steem up in steempower prevents any theft of your steem unless someone can STAY on your account for a whole week to wait for that first of the 14 weekly payouts! LOL I always thought this was a great way to prevent theft of crypto! Because even if someone DID log in, initiate a power down WITHOUT you noticing, and then came back a week later to take that first payout, you would then notice it and change your passworrd, and the worst that would happen is you loose 1 /14th of your steempower but youd have to basicaly forget about your steemit account and never check up on it for that to happen! I really am scared of this and am wonering if we should constantly be changing our passwords?
Can we pay you to keep our accounts safe maybe like we pay to have a steemit security consultant come to your house and analyze your computer or smartphone and advise you on what t do to keep it all safe?
bevause unlike bitcoin and other altcooins we cant just keep our steempower on a trezr aam I wrong? I hope I am i wish there was a way to keep our steemit private master key offline forever, is that possible
i know stem could probobly be stored on an offline paper wallet
but what about steempower?
