@guiltyparties has reached out to me regarding the incident, and discovered how I enabled the attacker to change my keys. I attempted to post a link, and for some reason the copy action I tried to undertake did not work, and I didn't notice. I had just logged into Steempeak, and my active key remained in my clipboard then was pasted when I posted the link in the comment.
Since it was a link, it was not visible in the text of the comment and I did not notice it. The hacker runs a script that searches the blockchain for keys, and found mine in seconds.
Steem Keychain would have made that impossible, and I regret now that I was not using it.
Only if Keychain is accepted, not if you have to copy ur key from Keychain to steemconnect, right?
Unfortunately you are correct, and my browser doesn't work with Keychain, so I had to paste my key into steemconnect, which loaded it into the clipboard, from whence it was pasted for the entire world when I posted a link.
:// how unlucky
I don't think of it as luck. I think of it as bad opsec. In Alaska where I was raised, I learned that if it happens to you, it's your fault.
hurtful truth, but as anarchist I can completely agree and have the same opinion.
people are not ready to be accountable; women are a special topic.
