According to her, the last activity that she did was posting about the pocket dump challenge. She used to open some links,I guess. After that she cant open her account anymore.
That is outrageous! So then it means, her losing all her SBDs had nothing to do with how much secure her password was. We assume she did not give the password to anyone. What she did was opened some links and then later on, she couldn't open her account anymore.
I think the most important thing for all of us to remember is to not open links, especially those that look questionable or suspicious.
You got it right! Some links are scammers!
Never click links in comments or wallet messages, always check URL’s if you do and only log in with your private posting key. Never use your master password.
I have been a victim myself and I have some guides on how to protect yourself/ how to get your account and reputation score back on my blog.
