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

in #the-hack • 9 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!

      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.
