🚨 Please check your Steem Account Authorities
Hello Steemian!
This post is written not to get you panic or accusing this service owner of fraud.
This is only a precaution reminder as I have encountered several cases where users who give out their Active key to this site will be a victim of their funds being transferred to this account
https://steemitwallet.com/@molly2/transfers
and finally into this account https://steemitwallet.com/@robertl13/transfers
If you checked on the victims authorized dapps they mostly come from several old dapps that are no longer active on Steem.
Beware of using steemdb.online curation trail service...
What raised my concern is that they recently could getting fund from newly created account like @tarpan and his community account @zero-to-infinity and when I checked they only give authorization to @steemauto.app owner of
https://steemdb.online/
In order to use this site service, they require users now to give their active key too. I think last time we only needed to give our posting key. I don't know why they request another active key in order to use their service now.
I would like to request an explanation from the creator of this site https://steemdb.online/ @steem-supporter one of Steem top witnesses regarding this issue that is related to his site.
For safety reason I think it is better to revoke the access of this site to your account by going to this site tools provided by @steemchillers here https://steemit.com/steemworld/@steemchiller/steemworld-update-new-tool-for-managing-account-authorities
You may also checked the list of dapps that you have give authorization from this site too https://ecosynthesizer.com/@yourownsteemaccountname
scroll down and look at left side on Authorities section.
I hope to hear from @steem-supporter soon regarding this matter.
Please stay safe everyone, it is just sad to see the funds that some of you been working hard on just disappear like that.
Regards..
cryptokannon
Thank you for this @cryptokannon.
Investigating...
Thank you 🥰 I feel like won a lottery instead 😆 I hope that your team could find out what been happening with this finding, I think it related to all the other complaints of funds being stolen lately....
Thanks friend @cryptokannon for the warning, you did a good job. Greetings!
Thank you @ cryptokannon for this information.

Thank you for the info from xpilar. Ironically, steem-supporter was being referred to in that post about this issue. Then in this post I'm wondering if he know that his site is having issue now....changed my statement after get to understand how dapps works on steem blockchain.Anything is possible when it comes to money. I think we need to deal more with such controls, to form a team and community to fight hacking and fraud.
Everyone has to bear responsibility, money cannot be made without responsibility.
Thank you for this very valuable information .. I'I am a dormant .. but since I reactivated on Steemit this month I haven't used any app other than Steemworld. How do I delete an app that I might have used before, and I don't know what app I have connected to my Steemit account anymore. Thank you @cryptokannon
Please check here https://ecosynthesizer.com/@aafadjar I see you have given lot of old and not working dapps authorization there. Please revoke it by following the instruction in this post https://steemit.com/steemworld/@steemchiller/steemworld-update-new-tool-for-managing-account-authorities
then change your master password by going to your steemitwallet page then click change password.
Thank you for the information and guidance @cryptokannon. I hope I can do it
I recently too was scammed (link to post below) and can appreciate anyone bringing awareness to the issue though we all need to stay vigilant it'd be nice to get a little justice from time to time.
link to my steemit post about it - https://steemit.com/crypto/@jaredlang/eos-voice-airdrop-scam-thru-my-scatter-wallet
sorry about what happened to you. hopefully steemit team could do something about it soon.
Would be nice seeing as it's another Larimer project #eos #eosio #voicecom
Thanks for this guidance @cryptokannon
I hope we do this very easily
Thanks very much
Thank you very much @cryptokannon❤️. This will be a great support for everyone . Very important ❤️
@criptokannon, what a fine fellow you were to warn about possible fraud. Why did people use this app? because everywhere they write that the owner and active keys cannot be given to anyone.
Hi @vipnata how do you do? I think it is because this dapps giving the service of auto-upvote by following specific users upvote and also we may auto-upvote our favorite author too. Also the owner is top Steem Witness, so we kind of trust him. Unfortunately it cannot be trusted now since some of their users get their funds stolen after giving out their active key in order to use this dapps. If I remember correctly, we only need posting key to use this service back then, but now they require our active key too.
100% True, welcome to my discord.
@cryptokannon, i am fine! How are you?
Thank you very much for your answer. I still have not figured out how to do it right to remove all the old apps. I read your post and was scared for my coins. brought sbd to bitrex so far to save them.
I am not a very technically advanced user. but as soon as I figure it out, I will do everything right and will not display it on the stock exchange.
Have a good day!
Thank for this info, i will spread the new in steem SEA since I saw some account are active in steem sea too. Please grant me to use your first image to spread the information. Thank you @cryptokannon
Best Regards

Right away, thank @cryptokannon!
I started the curation trail via steemauto. What should I do now?
Follow the instruction on how to revoke account authorities post from steemchillers that I shared in this post. Also change your keys to be more safe. Go to https://steemitwallet.com/@cryptokannon/password change password at your steemitwallet page and change your master password and this will automatically change your other keys too.
Thanks
