You can contact me as soon as possible to begin the account recovery process, provided you still have the last owner key used within the past 30 days.

Please follow the official instructions here:

🔐 Security First!

  1. Never post your keys in a memo.
  2. Never post your keys as a public post.

Don't expose your keys unnecesary. And use lowest minimal keys for example, use posting key to post, use active key to transfer funds. These two keys should be sufficient for daily use.

⚠️ There are bots actively monitoring the blockchain. If they see your keys, they may initiate a power down and transfer your funds immediately.

If you're unable to recover your account, notify the exchanges where your funds were to transfer.

You can also let me know, and I’ll take steps to block them from using the swap tools (not guaranteed as this is never tested yet).

Steem to the Moon🚀!
