RE: I Found $63,278 of Private Keys on Steemit.com in 10 Minutes!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I really appreciate your effort, jerry. I'm just wondering how it was possible for you to find those keys on steemit. Because it actually shouldn't be possible without doing any crawling. Also the chance of a person posting their private keys:

1.) are currently very low - there is a system in place which alerts and stops the user if they are entering any private key
2.) the only chance people still sending their password is if they have custom passwords - e.g. "jerryisawesome123" or if they send from an exchange.
3.) you didn't specify which keys you found - memo keys are currently not being used and except of logging in - nothing can be done with them

I understand - you're a clever guy. You know what a catchy headline needs and what topics people will want to read about. But I really don't like how you act as if you had magically "hacked" into those accounts and gained access to 60k$ because most of them probably were memory keys - and those are worthless if someone wants to hack.

You're so right bro. It's just a play to the gallery.
