Hi @dylen, the account was, thankfully, successfully recovered. I just posted an update:
Update (9th March 2018): @simplymike managed to get the account back. See this post about the experience and security lessons everyone should know on Steemit and in protecting your cryptocurrencies in general.
Hope you're not using your master key to log in as well! I recently made that very important change.
Thanks for the reminder.
Gosh, I’m really enjoying my 15 minutes of fame ... ;0)
