Nice article @lexiconical, binance.com did the right thing.
Sounds a bit like "steemiL.com" the site that steals your steemit password, then hijacks your account and spams people with phishing links and empties out accounts....

I suggest victims to report the crime to Malaysian authorities online, (this is where the fake-site is located) see my post...
Ah, well if they are anything like our Western authorities, I'm sure they'll "get right on that..."
I am sorry @lexiconical, I get where you are coming from, and that most people here are counterculture and they don't believe much in the government, etc etc...
But I believe this is the type of unserious attitude that might end steemit...
If we as a community don't take these things a bit more seriously, steemit is going to become famous as this weird shithole online where you can go and phish, spam, hack & scam unsuspecting victims without any repercussion...
