RE: Navigating Steemit and the Cryptosphere: Are Your Keys Safe? Really?

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your post. Back in March of this year, my account was compromised. We should be particularly concerned about our passwords and security. Phishing happened to me. I wasn't paying attention and clicked on the site. It was too late for me to notice that the link I was visiting was a phishing site. Linking accounts and wallets to specific devices and securing them makes perfect sense.

I'm sorry to hear that!

Sadly, I have seen quite a few Steemit accounts get appropriated over the years; often because someone copy/pasted their keys in the wrong place when making a transfer. Unfortunately, there are people who are constantly scanning blockchain transactions to see if someone made a mistake somewhere... and they will empty your account in a matter of minutes.
