Well I just got back into cellphone reception after being at a family reunion for the weekend and I was horrified to receive texts saying that my Steemit account had been hacked and that I'd had 1800 SBD stolen.
On Friday a user named @lezly commented on my post with a link that supposedly showed my content being stolen. I clicked on the link and was taken to a site that looked exactly like steemit.com, but I think maybe had something different than .com at the end. I'm trying to remember if I put my password in anywhere on that site, I don't think I did, but I suppose it's possible I did without thinking anything of it.
Anyways, if any of you clicked on the links that the hacker posted please change your password immediately so the same thing doesn't happen to you.
I'm so mad and feel so helpless that so much hard work has been totally taken away from me. As far as i know there's nothing that I can do to recover any of the money at this point, but if any of you have any ideas, please let me know.
Sorry dude.....I don't think there is any recourse....

I used that link from cell phone . They asked me for my password . Did you write your password , or this site automatically took it from you ? ( don't log me out schematics ) . This is important , because we need to make everything to protect ourselves . Stealing people should burn in hell . This is horrible , just take someone money , just like that. No morality at all , this kind of people that when you are hungry , they eat in front of you . Feel sick of that people , would punch that guy in face dozen of times . Shame on you you phishing FAGGOT

That sucks to hear man. This is the one reason that I only use my posting password when I am logged in. The only time I use my active password is when I am in my wallet and I never use my main password for anything. It is a pain to try and manage all of the passwords, but it is worth is in the end. I hope that you are able to quickly make back what you have lost.

So they hacked into your account and stole the SBD and not the Steem in your account?
Doesn't sound right to me......

They were able to to steal the sbd immediately, all my steem was powered up so that would have taken 13 weeks for them to power down and steal all of that.
