RE: Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S7W6 - Careful, Has your Steemit account been hacked?

Greetings @irawandedy,

I hope you are doing well. You have shared great post on Steem account hack.

You have mentioned that your account is secure from start but your friend faced loss of $800 because he saved his logins in the browser. Also the Steem for Betterlife community curation account got hacked because the admin also saved the keys in the browser.

Here I will add that this is the worst thing one can do to his account is saving his keys in the browser. It is the easiest way for hackers to steal keys. I never save keys in the browser instead I save them on paper at home.

You have shared with our recommendations to prevent our account from hacking and funds stealing. I agree and it is the best thing one can do on Steemit to convert his Steem to SP because it can't be converted back to Steem easily and requires 1 month.

You have mentioned that your brother @slempase also faced hacking issue on Steemit. His account got hacked but now due to Master Password he got his account back. I suggest to keep the Master Password not in the PC or Laptop but in a notebook at home.

You have also mentioned what will you do to recover your account if got hacked. The Master Key is the only way to recover our account so yes we should use it and store it securely.

Overall, you have shared good well research content with us. I wish you best of luck for the contest. Also check my entry and share your view :)
