omernoa, change your private keys immediately!

in #steem8 years ago

Sorry I had to do it this way. I have no other way of contacting you. If Steemit had private messaging enabled I would use that.

Your private keys are compromised change them immediately to a randomly generated key (use suggest_brain_key in the CLI). Ask the slack for help if you aren't sure how to do this.

Okay, it has been 3 days and still no response from omernoa. What is worse, they are still mining!

So it's time to get a bit more tough. I just changed their owner and active private keys. So now they will not be able to continue mining on that account. Hopefully that will get their attention. Posting key is still the same, so they can still come on steemit.com and claim ownership.

Hacky wacky no likey... :(

what happened?

I'll only say after this person changes their private keys.

is this a serious bug or just human error?

Human error.

If it's what I am thinking, the interface really does not help, though. It could be more explicit or do checks.

Only this account or what?

Yes, only this account.

You are very good to reach out and inform him/her a omernoa. I agree with you about the pm feature.
