Is there a high risk of getting hacked if I take a break from Steemit? I've read comments about people losing all their Steem after returning from a break...
I find it hard to tell. As I returned after my last break it was all there.
I was hacked while there and I still had the habit to only check my wallet once per month so I was kind of too late.
A fact is that many accounts have been hacked this year (around July) or even twice and most accounts were abandoned (not sure for how long). A part wasn't and as far as I know most from the same country.
A friend just returned after 3 years... I don't think her account been hacked. Let's ask
@cicisaja did you power down before you left or did you leave everything behind as you took your leave?
oohh Thanks for reminding me of that action @wakeupkitty.pal
I did the power down 9 days ago, after my return to steemit. I have a situation where I need to collect some cash, I have looking around on any of my blog accounts, I powered down on hive too before, and thinking about to end my journey on steemit by powered it all down.
But right after the first sum of powered down sent to to my wallet, I already completed the issue of cash immediate need, so I cancel the power down, and use some steem i already got to so cash it out and now I'm good.
I changed my mind after the first powered down, because I'd love to stay around again. I have a good safety system to protect my account from hacking. I always do my best to keep the keys only for myself.
