RE: How I Could Have Prevented My Account From Being Hacked

in #the-hack8 years ago

Thanks for this. The hacker has powered down my account so my question is, is there any way for me to stop that? I don't yet have control of my account yet as I was in the second round of hacks. In fact I was in process of securing it when I noticed I was too late!!!!!!! Great info.

You should be safe @stellabelle. All compromised accounts are in the hands of Steemit. In addition, some additional security measures are being put into place with respect towards transfers.

Since power downs take a week, I expect you to have your account in control way before then.

Agree with complexring above, it sounds like any account changes/transfers made in the hands of the attackers are going to be reversed by the devs, so all should be well for you soon!

Thanks. I was rattled bc I've never been hacked ever before.

Sure thing! being hacked is always scary, whether it's your first time or hundredth time :P

A lot of time you're on your own and the damages are basically gone without any hope. But it seems here the Steemit creators and devs are watching your back like a hawk which is really lucky in a high-stakes environment like steemit can be.
