This is pretty bad ass man! So, if I'm understanding this right, you're using a bot similar to the hackers, but instead, you hand the new keys back over?

@appalachain correct, that's what I do. And my bot is faster ; )

On STEEM malicious bots are indeed running (I even lost a test account during testing) and the account gets compromised in a few seconds. I haven't seen those on Hive yet but they'll come.

Mine is faster and usually puts their funds into savings in less than a second. Same for changing their keys if they compromised the owner key. For the posting key instead it only replies in about ~200ms.

Also, my bot checks ALL type of operations posted to the blockchain, I even found an active key in an account_update operation lol.

Thoughts on getting more visibility to my project? Should I raise a proposal through HPS?

I'm currently working on a couple of other side projects that should help sustain the costs of all my bots then I will be able to focus back on @keys-defender to add the missing features (eg. instant reply to known phishing links once detected by Hivecleaners with who I collaborate - eg. @guiltyparties).

Absolutely! I think it's an awesome project! Especially trying to onboard new users that may not be familiar with crypto. It will help give them a little bit of extra security. I'd like to see this get some funding.

@appalachain Thanks for your feedback, I will put a proposal together soon!

Thanks for doing what you're doing! I'll make sure and keep an eye out for it. For what it's worth, It'll have my support.

That is good news to have this available to everyone.

Thanks @cryptoandcoffee. It's running both on STEEM and HIVE since the keys are shared.
