RE: SCAM ALERT: GRUMPYCAT PHISHING POST!! @simplymike account hacked?

in #phishing6 years ago

What can you do if you find one of those Grumpycat comments/posts. I'm sending out an alert to a few discord groups I'm in with this post, but is there any action people can take if they get this 'Grumpy Cat' or other up/downvote. I can imagine if they can do this with the cat they can do the same with upvote bots.

Sort:  

So that's not the real grumpycat sending out those phishing comments. Seems like the hackers hijacked his canned message available here and edited it for their own nefarious purposes.

If you see something like this, the best thing to do is to report it to @steemcleaners at https://steemit.chat/channel/steemitabuse so that they can flag the account till 0 rep to hide all its comments. You can also try leaving a downvote on the comment and a reply saying it's a phishing attack, but unless you're using a bot, it's impossible to catch up with them.

Excellent, thanks for the tips.
