Awwww...Crap...I got HACKED!!!!

in #steemit8 years ago

I wasn't sure at first, because asshole hacker didn't change my posting key and since I usually log in with my posting key, I didn't realize I was hacked until I tried to log in as owner.  My owner key has been obviously changed and asshole hacker is making money off my posts, what a true dickhead.

A symptom that I have from being hacked is that my permissions page doesn't provide hyperlinks for the owner or memo set of permissions, a little strange, but when I try to change all my passwords, my owner password doesn't work.

I'm going to setup a steemit wallet outside of the browser.

Cya later.

Pissed Off.

I believe login with owner key is disabled at the moment. You should really never login with your owner key anyways. It should be used only if all your other keys have been compromised to gain back control of your account. You should be able to do every thing you need to with the Acitve and Posting keys only. Login with your posting key for the basic functions. You'll only need active key if you use the market or send funds.

If you havn't noticed any missing funds or strange posts that you didn't yourself make under your account. I would say your account is likely fine. You should be able to change your password on active and posting keys if you are worried.

OMG, I hope you're right. I guess, we'll wait and see?

Does your change all keys function work?

Change all keys doesn't work for me.

I'm having the same issue (along with a few of my friends), I think this is related to the updates being performed...fingers crossed this is just temporary. Can you still power up and down using your owner key?

Nope, my owner key has been changed, since my owner password doesn't work anymore. Your account sounds clean, knock on wood.

How does this keep happening?

Thanks all, it appears my active key is working now, don't know what happened, but the change all keys function doesn't work, it just hangs...and I assume like @w4lterwyte and @enki mentioned, owner keys are disabled?

Yeah, my active key also isn't working, but we'll see what happens in the coming days...I hope this gets smoothed out
