I hope someone can help @jazzresin out. They are trying to stop their account being abused on both blockchains. Is changing keys enough or do authorities need to be revoked too? I think @hivewatchers should stop the flagging as they have made their point.
@themarkymark, is there a way to revoke Steem authorities from the web without Keychain? He's using an iPad. I'm just trying to help sort this out, but it's gone beyond my knowledge.
There are hundreds of accounts affected by this issue, but most have been abandoned.
@jazzresin
You would need to come to our Discord to talk about it, please:

Has anyone done a post on how to effectively disconnect the spammers from an account? There is obviously a need for that information. When people are trying to do good it's better to inform than punish.
We need more effort to actually remove rewards from the actual spammers. Some of the big trolls are actually voting them up. Doesn't look like they are using their 'botnet' for now, but then that probably didn't give them much anyway.
Sorry. Have been moving belongings into storage and am just now seeing this. I will look it up on discord. The link doesnt seem to work.
So yeah this is a bloody headache
Should only need account recovery if you don't have master key. Changing keys is done on hive.blog or peakd. May be possible to do with a Python script. Sorry, but that is the limit of my knowledge.
Maaaan. I dont know who to trust in this world.
Doesnt matter.
Matter is mostly empty space.
I dont think i should trust discord hivewatcher at all.
Your choice. Should you trust me?
HW have good intentions, but their people skills can be lacking. They are volunteers working under pressure. They get a lot of attacks from people. There are other channels such as the main Hive one that may be more helpful.
