How I Could Have Prevented My Account From Being Hacked

in the-hack •  8 years ago  (edited)

For some reason I cannot log into my owner account to change my password. I originally setup a unique strong password for each of my keys. I had not logged in to them since except to test the passwords I have documented. So after the hack everyone is warned to change their password. Today I try to log into my owner account to change my password and it says my password is wrong. Would it be better if I had changed my password while the exploit was actively running? It was a XSS vulnerability so logging into your owner account would have been a bad idea so I refrained from changing my password until today. Is my account hacked?

I have the same issue. Cannot log-in with owner credentials, only posting credentials!

Same here...can only log in with posting key and all my Steem is gone...only thing left in the wallet is 'steem power'.
