Note: changing your keys might not be enough if you have authorized apps to use your account. You must revoke the app in order to keep them from using your vote.

Thanks for bringing that up. Right now it is unsure if they have keys or using a posting authority.
It doesn’t appear they have their own authority and are either using someone else’s they has access to or more likely using actual posting keys farmed via an app or accidentally leaked.
They don't use steemconnect. I signed up to check and you have to enter your posting key onto the side. It's probably saved into their own DB. So everyone who is affected by these fuckers should change his/her keys asap.
Maybe not related to this case but it's always good to review what apps are authorized to your account.
This app is not listed there.
Please excuse the editing.
In this app, the private key was saved directly on the website :-(
good idea just to review this in general. i have granted access to a ton of apps that arent even valid anymore. thats ending. tx
Good point....just revoked a bunch
