RE: Have you ever been hacked?

in Ask the Hive6 months ago

I had the hive hack years back when we went from steem to hive. The keys were the same or the recovery passcode or something..not sure anymore. Then I signed somwthing that looked like an airdrop and boom...4400 Hive gone.

Loads of rookie mistakes in there and never got the hive back. Even though a lot of the hive was from the fork, but there were so many hours of writing in there

This was more of a phishing than a hack. The outcome was the same

Sort:  

oh yeah I remember that, well glad you stuck to it and didn't give up on being active here!

I guess if you have been around in the space this will always eventually fall for something. These guys are all so sophisticated in what they do and you just need a second of not paying attention.

Can let it get you down! We learn, we grind right!
