A few days ago @noisy made a post how they have hacked 11 steemit accounts and shared the script with everyone.
If by a chance you missed it you can find it here:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@noisy/we-just-hacked-11-accounts-on-steemit-1158-sbd-and-8250-steem-is-under-our-control-but-we-are-good-guys-so
Why share a script? anyone can use a script and gain the info of user mistakes right?
Would't a simple explanation be enough how it was done? I believe steemit rewards bug finders anyway for reporting a bug, so in the first place a post should never be made until the issue is fixed. And after only after the issue is fixed the information should be leaked to public.
Now everyone claim they are heroes, im not saying they are not since they really done a great job i might make the same mistake one day, but it will be fixed by then.
@noisy did created and sumbited a bug fix to github, what i believe is going to be implemented in next hardfork.
Its was not fixed yet.
Why am i writing this post then?
A biggest mistake was to make a screenshot with usernames and passwords that they managed to hack.They claim they all have been secured and the ones that weren't had everything transfered into savings account subject to 3 days unavailability to withdraw fund and allow users to change passwords.
And i am certain they they were not since, i currently own 5 of the accounts in Golos.io
You will see below how easy is to get access to one of them.

Ok so following @kingscrown post about Golos free money for 2016 steemians you can find it here:
https://steemit.com/steem/@kingscrown/golos-has-free-money-for-2016-streemians
Even if you change a password on steemit, it wont change nothing on Golos.
It means anyone who knows that they are connected can access you account in Golos change your passwords, make post under your name and even withdraw your funds.
Since if you are an early adopter to steemit there might be quite some money sitting in Golos that you don't know about.
I decided to test it out myself will it work this way.
First ones were really easy enter username password and you are in. start power down do whatever you want.
The ones with long passwords required something more the screenshot @noisy made did not include full password.
Thats where https://steemdb.com/ came in very handy.
As you can see was very easy to trace history and find out the full password/active/memo.
Conclusion:
A big mistake for leaking private user information prior repairing the bug. For the future please don't leak private people information to public some users might be investing everything they have to steemit.com mistakes like this one might make more harm then good.
Please upvote and resteem post so that the people would know about existing problem and if needed or just in case change the passwords in both websites.

I hope you have not made the problem worse by posting any information in addition to that which you feel @noisy should not have, and, perhaps should not have reposted the information you did.
Just sayin' fam.
just trying to inform people, if i figured it out others did as well.
