I've Got My Steemit Account Back on Track: Was Hacked but Lesson Learned
Hello Steemians ! I'm so glad I've got my account and my reputation score is back on track. Yesterday, I was very devastated when my friend/mentor @roldamn told me that my account was hacked.
This is what my account looks like yesterday. My reputation score is down to negative one (-1) , all my post was hidden and it sucks.
How did I get hacked ?
Since I am new to steemit, I really don't have any idea that I can be hack and when @roldamn asked me if I have click some link before, that's when I realized that I did click some link before not knowing that it was a phishing comments.
This was the phishing comment that I click. Please be careful when you see this guys. Don't fall for it.
What did I do to get it back ?
The first thing I did was to immediately change my password so that the hackers cannot access my account anymore. Then I asked some help from @roldamn and @mrblu as well as from @steemitdavao group.Thankfully, one from the group have some ideas on how to get my account back. A big thanks to @joyrobinson for sending me this link.

Lesson Learned
Whether your new or not to this. Please think before you click from any malicious site/comments. You'll never know what the hackers can do. It's better to be safe.
