There is currently a hacker that transferring all the funds from the users that he has an access whether it is your sbd or steem liquids. I think the larger portion of the victims(if I could say this term) were the inactive ones but I have close friends here who is just as active as me that got their accounts infiltrated as well. You can refer to @deveerei's article! to show some proof! and also the details about the hacker. in here

Now let me show you a quick guide on how to change your passwords or should I say update your passwords!

  • First is to go to your page or profile then click the three stripes on the top right corner!
