RE: My Steemit ID Theft: Lessons, Recommendations & A Message To The thief.
These are all good ideas, but what you are asking for is the same thing that banks and or the governments use to "protect" it's citizens. When you said "the account should immediately have its financial activity, voting and publishing rights frozen" that there is exactly why people go into cryto., so it cannot be frozen by another party.
Feedback appreciated. That's regarding one of my suggestions, which I meant for a short period of settling time to stop others from having their money stolen too. Food for thought and something I personally wouldn't mind to help secure my SBD in the future for peace of mind.
There could theoretically be a command that works like account recovery but instead of changing, it just locks. So the moment you submit your request, steemit.com has your side of the authority and can together with their side of it freeze the account.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking could also be a good idea... Creating a new operation type that could immediately lock down an account if signed with the signature of any recent password, and thus also initiating the normal account recovery process.
That sounds like the best idea Ive heard today. Reggaemuffin.
That makes sense.
