Oddly enough, I have recently been thinking of the possibility of this kind of malacious Steemit clone. Being that it is open source and there are many Steemit related websites- ive been extra weary of finding myself putting my information into anything I am unsure about.
The bottom line is that everyone needs to be careful and stick to the websites that are well known and reputable. There plenty at stake here for everyone...whales and minnows alike..
