Steemit.com was subjected to a cyber attack. In the attack, fewer than 260 accounts were compromised, and less than $85,000 worth of Steem Dollars and Steem may have been stolen.
The hack has now been contained. User accounts and wallets are not at risk, and we hope to soon reactivate the Steemit website to normal order. Any users whose accounts were compromised will be completely reimbursed.
Though only a relatively small amount of Steem was stolen, we take any form of criminal activity against our community extremely seriously. We have reported the hack to police and other cyber crime authorities, including the FBI. A full, internal investigation is currently being conducted and we are working on an immediate solution.
Partner exchange Bittrex was informed of the compromise and is actively helping the investigation. As a precaution, they have temporarily suspended the ability to deposit or withdrawal Steem and Steem Dollars from their exchange. The suspension will be lifted as soon as possible.
Lol, this is old news, in fact it's a previous security announcement that you copied from @ned:

Yes I did find it on a website not that one though so ned probs stole it from somewhere. I didnt know i cant post something someone else dis . mybad
Ned is the dev of the site and the original author of that announcement. Also, just because someone else steals doesn't make it right.
Taking someone else's content and posting it as your own, especially without giving attribution is called plagiarism and it's frowned upon.
Also, retaliating against me by flagging my comment for pointing out your theft isn't helping your reputation.
Yes, this crap has got to stop. It could be a full time job hunting down, reporting and downvoting plagiarism and redundant copy-cat posts here.
