An important warning and cautionary tale... this should really be "required reading" on a regular basis.
The (sad, but true) lesson here is that there are people out there just WAITING to pounce on even the slightest opening we offer.
I'm glad the "hole" in @fredrikaa's account was plugged quickly... but still a costly experience.
A big thumbs up to everyone who helps through being vigilant and helping those who do fall into traps. This is what COMMUNITY is all about!
I agree, the steemit community has a lot of potential, but we still need to be wary of the few who are here to disrupt. For this reason, it is important to know how to keep yourself and your account secure, while also helping out others.
