in #steemit7 years ago

My dear steemians,

I take the time to write this second "SPECIAL EDITION" because the SECURITY on Steemit does not wait!

This subject is really urgent and more important than anything else! Sometimes I know about serious topics ^^. To read Tip # 1

Whether you're a beginner or not, there are a few things you need to be very careful about Steemit!
The HACKING also exists on Steemit and as our account steemit it is a little like our bank account, it is necessary to be very vigilant!
You certainly do not want to see your wallet empty and me either.

So here's MY SECOND TIPS ANTI-HACKING:

Advice Nº2- Know how to identify dangerous links and report them

Indeed, plagiarism and other abuses also exist on Steemit and it is important to know how to spot and report them quickly!

  • Personal experience :

One of my followers @ghulammujtaba sent me a comment to tell me that my post had been plagiarized by another user.
Indeed, by clicking on this link I saw all my content appear on the account of another user! It's weird the first time! And then we get used to XD.
Well, I share with you the anecdote about this story... I flagged @ghulammujtaba by mistake! And yes, poor man, I thought it was an attempt to hack, as I told in my first post. So I panicked and flagged. But luckily, I was able to quickly remove my flag and apologize ... Oops... XD.

➥ What should you do in this situation?

🚨 Just make sure it's a real steemit link, see advice post # 1 and to note the plagiarism on the account of the frilly user. Then report the plagiarism on this link: https://steemcleaners.org/abuse-report/

@steemcleaners will do the job ... This group was created to do the "cleaning" on Steemit and protect us from malware and hackers ... They are fast and efficient and I thank them for their work!

As @akidusf said on my post #1, nothing is safe from hackers, only the vigilance is able to protect us!

Understanding how the steemit works can also help us guard against these cyber attacks!
