A member named @ContestBuddy stole passwords from many members on March 23 and stole thousands of Steem and Steem Dollars.
I was one of the victims. Look at the attached image. ContestBuddy created his profile only 6 days ago and started attacking shortly thereafter. Then he quickly trasferred the stolen money onto his Bittrex account.
Does anyone know if his Bittrex account can be frozen?
I was using my main PW. I should have been using my Active Key. He was able to compromise my account.
Fortunately, Steemit allowed me to recover my account and I reset all my passwords.
