RE: Don't F*** with the Community - My research on the spam wave over the past few days

in #hive4 days ago (edited)

It is sad that things like this happens here, 'cause a lot of people is being damaged because of this. I'm amazed that you can do this kind of research work.

Also, I was victim of another kind of attack. I was absent from Hive for a couple of years and when I came back recently I found out that all my Hive, HBD and HP was stolen. Everything was sent to a single account and when I looked at it I found out I wasn't the only victim.

Do you know about this kind of attacks too?

Thanks for sharing. Yes, im already working and checking things like the transfers to wallets with friends. How far we are on this we are not sharing but a chat maybe on Discord would be nice.

Sorry, I didn't understand the last thing you said.

Would like to have a Chat with you on Discord.

Ohh, sure. How can I contact you there?

Out of curiosity - did you discover how did that happen? It's not easy to just guess or bruteforce the keys needed to perform the transfers. Did you do something stupid like posting the keys or sending master key somewhere 'trusted', or had other accident, idk, laptop/mobile stolen with keys on it, etc?

Well, I have the theory that I 'saved it' in my Google Account's Password Administrator and there was a security breach. Someone was able of getting the information and the rest is history.
