Can steemit be hacked? @anasz account has been hacked

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

Some time ago, @anasz, a steemian from Aceh vent me about his account that can’t be opened anymore. He's tried to login multiple times and failed. He didn’t expect that his @anasz account (reputation: 70) had been hacked by someone else, or it could be said that the master password (active key) was reseted by someone that he didn’t know.

To my knowledge, steemit can’t be hacked, unless someone already has a password master (active key) that can be used to generate a new passwords. In fact, anasz himself has tried the recovery menu provided by steemit, but that way has not worked until now.

The incident (anasz couldn’t access his account) happened two days ago. When he wants to log into his account as usual, but can not. He looked very worried, moreover when he read the history on his wallet, there was a withdrawal message that he did not do. And it is expected to be done by others. Now the account hijacker has stolen his money.

Until now, there have been twice transactions (withdrawal) his steem into poloniex exchange and blocktrades. And we don’t know yet, who is the mastermind behind this incident. I really hope the help from my steemian friends. What he must do to get the account back as it was.

I @muftykutink justify the theft of this @anasz account, it seems there are irresponsible people who stole account @anasz, it is very confusing and somehow account @anasz hacked but I have witnessed that the @anasz account is hacked
I am here to be a witness that the thing that is conveyed @steemvest17 really happened
I think it seems that someone stole the @anasz password from @anasz smartphone and changed the @anasz account password so that the saved recovery @anasz could not be used or maybe email @anasz was hacked
Hopefully steemit @dan | @ned | @donkeypong | @liberosist | @abit | @biophil and other friends can help @anasz

Based on this incident, I asked the founders and developers and the witness to develop the steemit to have 2-Step Verification codes or 2FA authentication code

It is true what has been said by @steemvest17, that the @anasz steemit account has been hijacked by an unknown person, during these two days, please help from all the friends in the steemit account.

The very unfortunate incident because of the theft is the act of harming people and is a big crime. I think the steemit platform can not be hacked Unless the birth of a quantum computer. I realized to founders, developers, witnesses, and IT in steemit to develop steemit, between providing verification features like 2FA verification, or the like. And hope I also help from anyone in steemit to find a solution to a case like this

What???
@anasz account stolen, what happened?
Very unfortunate account that has a very good reputation & one account that has a high reputation in aceh stolen, it seems there are people who want to defame @anasz
We really hope this can be solved

This article is very disturbing to my mind, Steemit is safe but what I fear is I do not know how to fix when my key is stolen. let alone, I use the laptop used by my family. I hope Team Steemit can provide a solution to this problem.
I am very grieved with the misfortunes that happened at @anasz, hope your account can be found again soon. Don't sad, we leave and believe it to Team Steemit and Depelopers Steemit.

As long as my knowledge, steemit cant be hacked, except some one has stole master key, we have to find a solution to solve this problem, we hope all steemit leader and steemit developer to help this matter, maybe they can solve this in a shirt time

Intelectual ghosts are playing on this game. Public wifi looks very dangerous for this one. I just hope it will be solved soon by report it for admin who has good authority. I keep this one for my unforgettable experience that i can share to other steemians.

I am very worried about this incident to account @anasz who has been hacked by irresponsible people because @anasz is a friend of a village, before he joined our steemit is a frofesi cooling and air conditioning technician which he taught me a lot of engineering science cooling up I can be independent by opening a business in that field. I hope to the perpetrators handed over the @anasz account as soon as possible or at least want to make peace because if this is not resolved then our users of other accounts will feel very disappointed, from me personally please finish by steemit Who plays an active role to restore his lost account. Thank you and please attention the whole steemian. @Steemvest17 thanks for the post

Maybe he use public wifi, because public wifi have a lot of flaw on security
I doubt blockchain based technology can be interference like this

Hopefully the steemit team can immediately help and provide solutions or provide support for @anasz account can be reopened.

How cruel !!!
I feel sorry for the loss (stolen) account @anasz.
Because he is one account that has a high reputation steemit aceh.
And I really hope to be in the process by the steemit.

What was happened, it's true news i read in this post. This big problem that must be known and looking by other steemians and specially for seniors that's are in charge of maintaining this steemit to stop it. If this allowed, it will be affect the steemians around the world. If indeed now @anasz account held by people who have dared to hack it. It is necessary to discontinue action by not reducing the contents in the account and returning back to the owner.

Hopefully the steemit can immediately process quickly so @anasz can be back active as usual.

How can happened ??? CEO must to stop this action. I am a witnesses of this accident. That @anazs account was stolen by someone.

I witnessed this incident, I have seen @anasz trying to login to his account but can't
@anasz has also tried recovery but still can't
Hopefully the Steemit can solve this problem

I @curiesea testify to God that the @anasz account has been stolen / hacked by an unknown person and I testify that this incident really happened
I am looking forward to Team Steemit to take action so that @anasz can regain his account.

What happened was true. I testify that this incident really happened, anasz can no longer access his account, it was very unfortunate because @anasz was one of the high reputation accounts. Which has been a role model for the community of Aceh Steemit in blogging on this platform.
Deep expectations that Steemit Team @dan | @ned | @donkeypong | @liberosist | @abit | @biophil and other friends, could solve this problem. Thanks.

I hope they can fix it.

I sincerely hope that the @anasz account can be restored, because he is the greatest aceh steemian of his reputation, and because of him I can recognize and develop steemit, thank you @anasz😰

Something we are all concerned about and need to do our best at preventing from happening.

I testify for the sake of God that the account, @anasz it belongs to his who has been stolen person

How cruel !!!

I feel sorry for the loss (stolen) account @anasz.
Because he is one of the accounts that have a high reputation aceh.
And I really hope to be processed by steemit

Steemvest also often tell me that steemit account can not be hacked because steemit platform does not have server. Because this steemit platform is decentralized. But when something like this happens, I assume it's no longer safe to invest here. I've also experienced what anaz is like, but in different accounts. My account incident was hacked not in steemit but in bittrex. We expect security for our steemit users as well as for us users of crypto currency market accounts. Hopefully founders and developers and witnesses in steemit can provide solutions and assistance.
Be patient @anasz this is our bolt trials

Masya Allah, hopefully there is a way out.

As seen once more, total security does not exist.

My sincere sympathy to @anasz for losing all the time and effort he has invested in the community.

I really hope the founders find a solution for him as quickly as possible before the money gets transferred away from his account.

This really bad news for all of us. Please let us know when you find out how this happened so that we can all learn lessons from it.
I feel very sorry for @anasz . We all put so much into our posts and to slowly building our accounts. To lose it all overnight would be devistating.

Your post is very good warning for steemian to be careful in maintaining a steemit account password

Why are our friends' accounts lost? If the account of our friends, let us find a way to restore the account of our lost friends, we must find out who is hekker account.

I hope everything will be fixed

good job
