What to do if a hacker unstakes your EOS. How to use the Greymass wallet to add/remove active key in your EOS account.
What do you do if a hacker unstakes your coins and tries to steal them? This video shows you how to use the Greymass "eos-voter" wallet application to add an "Active Key" to your EOS account that only has an "Owner Key". This demonstration is shown using Greymass eos-voter version 0.5.0.
Jump to Summary: (11:45-)
You can now add/remove different keypairs for the different permissions of "owner" and "active".
If you have the same keypair for both your Active & Owner permissions, such as main-net snapshot account, then you will want to follow this procedure to add an "active" key pair.
The 3 day unstaking period allows you to have time to prevent the theft. Make sure you have your un-used EOS tokens "staked" sso that you have the advantage of this 3 day waiting period.

Great show. Did i get it right, that you cant change the owner key of the genesis account? Because me here (any most others) have already used their owner keys somewhere, so if this has been compromised changing the active key wouldnt do the trick anymore....
