It happened again: I got robbed
In crypto, some terms and ideologies don't apply when critically looked at. An example of such ideology is that "Every day is for the thief and one day is for the owner". Well, I beg to disagree as I got robbed of my six-month hustle, time, and dedication on the Blurt blogging platform.
For those who do know what a blurt platform is, It is just similar to Steemit, Hive, and serey crypto blogging platforms. In fact, Blurt was forked from Steemit but the only difference is that, unlike steemit where all you need is to have some steempower in order to make a post, for Blurt, liquid blurt is deducted as a gas fee for every activity on the platform.
Well, This post is just to raise alarm on the huge security lapses that still exist on crypto. I could see my crypto being stolen to an account created on June 2022 and yet, there is nothing that could be done to block such an account. Well, I feel some changes need to be made in order to curtail some of these criminal activities. As this said theif as of the time of writing, has stolen blurt from over 50 blurt user accounts. I am just surprised that no one is talking about it.
In my own case, I got to find out that I have been robbed like 10 days after the deed has been done as I have been busy these past few days with my offline full-time job. I must confess because I was hacked around this time last year and that made me lose faith in the security aspect of the crypto thing.
As I said, more work still needs to be done to curtail this criminal activity on crypto and blockchain at large. Awareness needs to be done on the users keeping their keys more secured and also, the dev of the platform has to come up with a smarter way to catch this thief as I have never heard of a case where a crypto hacker was caught.
Send u a msg on discord this is you right? lebey1#4394
Dear @lebey1
This is very unfortunate to become a target of any sort of robbery.
Did you have all your blurt in form of liquid tokens? wasn't it staked (powered up)?
ps,
I just commented on other of your post here. Check it out.
Cheers, Piotr
No oo..i had most of the blurt gotten saved as i don't earn much from writing. I get more of my earnings from tasks and contest
Greetings @lebey1,
I can Feel you man, these kinds of experiences made us think to leave crypto market, I know how it feels when you have spend your time and energy on something and then it suddenly it disappears,
I hope you continue doing your good work on this platform, sending you More strength
"@crypto.piotr
keep it up good work : )
I am just trying to keep my head above this hardship because it is becoming unbearable and i am afraid i might loose focus entirely if this continues to happen
greetings @ lebey1
I am very sorry for your loss, since the effort was rewarded with your resources, no doubt that you have to value well when you enter this platform, the truth I heard about it and was gathering information to enter, but certainly this takes me away from it.
On the other hand you should make an analysis of your equipment or way of working to see if there is any crack in the security by which you are stealing.
I agree. I need to work harder on security hardening from my end

It's like you say buddy, sometimes this kind of stuff is kept quiet, that blurt platform is not much to my liking, that's why I stopped posting there. I am very sorry for your loss my friend. Regards
Hi
This is sad . You could start by changing your password/ key over there. I would like to add something else however since it can be used to carry out another exploit lets connect on discord so I can tell you there.
Your discord handle please ?
Uff, thats some bad news. But I am glad that you are not losing faith completely as you are posting on Steemit :)
