RE: 🚨 Warning to all communities 🚨 The STEEMIT TRAVEL Account has been compromised!! 🚩
Hi friend @hotspotitaly, I am very sorry about this situation. What strikes me in this case is that only one person had the master key?
I think it has always been recommended that the master key be owned by at least 2 users or 3 better, of those who manage the community keys, so that they can at least take action or do something to recover the account. Otherwise, if only one person has the master key, nothing can be done.
Even if all the keys are in the hands of at least two people, it cannot stop the founder from changing the key and initiating a power down. I think the best way out of all this is the integration of a multi-signature wallet, which will allow three people to authorize transactions based on an agreement.
It is true that you cannot prevent the passwords from being changed, but you can start the recovery of the account.
Fortunately, not all community administrators act this way. And certainly there are currently options to prevent this, as you mention.
Thank you, dear, for your words. It was a mistake on my part due to my limited experience on the platform. It will certainly serve as a lesson for me. Nonetheless, I was also at fault for trusting them as they seemed very willing to teach platform-related matters. However, we already have plans to recover with the other two members of the community and create a multisign wallet so that the keys are shared, preventing such an incident from happening again.
What bothers me the most is not just the fact that they deceived our staff, but all the people who create content in the community. Especially considering that they deceived several communities. For me, it's important that this individual gets banned!
