Never give your password on suspect or unknown websites!!
I already warned you about several scam attempts (see bottom of this post for a list of them). Here is a new one. Thanks to @chuuuckie for notifying!
Scam Description
A new website has been created and links to it are spreading via discord
NOTE: the domain name displayed may be different from the above screenshot
The page displayed by the site is a fake Steemit login page!!
The goal of the creator of this website is to steal your credentials to hack your account and funds!
Preventive action activated
I will add any account sending phishing links to the black list of my Warning-Bot and it will issue warnings with a link to this post, notifying users of the malicious activity of those accounts.
If you find similar phishing attempts, contact me on steem.chat
To protect yourself, you can:
- always double check before clicking on a link, especially if this links take you away from steemit.com.
- verify the reputation of people writing comments on your posts. A user with a low reputation should trigger you attention.

reminder
A bit of paranoia is the basis of security.
There are a few simple rules to follow in order to avoid having your account hacked:
Rule 1: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER use or give your owner key or password!
Rule 2: Use your posting key to login, post and vote on trusted websites like steemit.com or busy.org.
Rule 3: NEVER give your active key as this key allows to control your funds! Only use your active key for special operation like money transfer or account update on trusted websites like steemit.com.
Rule 4: Anywhere else, if you are requested to provide any of the above key: RUN AWAY!!!
4 simple rules. It's not much to remember. Follow them scrupulously, and you will only have to laugh at unsuccessful attempts from scammers.
Spread the words, resteem this post to your friends, and you will make the platform safer.
Thanks for reading!

Hi @arcange I just noticed some person named five34a4b has started to spam around some kind of “app” link. I didn’t touch it maybe you have some time to look into it. I’m always a little suspect of these app things. Even more so when they start spamming comment sections trying get people to use them.
Hello @enjar,
I checked the account you mentioned. Looks like it is a a legit application for Steem project.
Anyway, perform your own due diligence before trusting such application
Thanks for your efforts in exposing these criminals.
I have just encountered a user posting suspicious messages. I don't know if it's phishing or simply spam... Can you please look into it?

She's spamming that message a lot...
https://steemit.com/@carolinamadrigal/comments
But the site in these comments don't seem to have anything bad (at least right now.) It's an almost empty page and nothing more. Or so it seems.
Still, I leave this here so you can investigate. Bye!
Gracias por tus recomendaciones, este post es muy util para los que estamos empezando, un abrazo @arcange
Mr @arcange, good day sir. I need your help for my brother's account @Adewunmif.
