RE: ⚠️[HACKING WARNING]⚠️ FlaminGirl's tips ANTI-HACKING on Steemit - Part 1

in #steemit6 years ago

Iv been listening to the podcast called 'The Perfect Scam', which features Frank Abignail (the guy whose story is the premise for Catch Me If You Can).

One of the things he emphasises the most is to 'stop and verify'. So in the case of Steem if you are ever ansked for your details (especially when unprompted) the first thing to do is to check all the details like you have mentioned above.

The scammers have decreased on here in the last few months (with the price down), but im sure they will come back when the price goes back up!

Sort:  

Yes, we must always check when we are asked our code. And do not rush to give it.

They will come back very soon I'm sure too...

Yep - I am always very careful but I far others are not (especially those who are newer), so thanks for sharing this
