RE: My acccount was hacked into and stolen from by @contestbuddy and @steem
@steem creates everyone's accounts.
I cannot overstate the importance of keeping your account keys secure. Specifically, you will never need your Owner Key/Master PW except for account recovery and you should never use anything more than your Posting Key unless you are absolutely sure the site is safe. It should go without saying that you are responsible for your own account security here.
You can tell that a post link is taking you away from https://steemit.com because when you hover over it for a couple of seconds, it will display the message shown at the bottom of this example:
Its always funny that is what I have been hearing since this happen. Why don't steem have a system that once your master key is given it cannot be used again because all the other keys can be used and then force people to use the others. You see this steemit place is the perfect place for dishonest scum like the owner of @contestbuddy to live. And you are missing the bigger picture. When the owner of @contestbduddy does this and I tell my story. How many other hackers and crooks you think will come out of the woodworks and do the same thing. Hundreds because this the perfect place for thieves.
