Caution: Steem miners - use only trusted builds for mining

<html>
<p>With the increase in popularity of Steemit it was only a matter of time before the bad guys come out to play. Please don't be taken in by the marketing of huge hash rate gains and/or other hardware support.</p>
<p>It shouldn't have to be said, but: <b>use caution when running applications from unknown sources.</p>
<p><center><img src="https://s32.postimg.org/u4nevioth/computer_virus_alert_grungy_sign_vector_13961620.jpg"/></center></p>
<p>There is a new miner software being pushed that is dropping keyloggers and backdoors - with the aim to steal your passwords and Bitcoins/Steem.</p>
<p>Source: <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1549276.0">https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1549276.0</a></p>
<p><hr></p>
<p>Please take care out there and only use trusted, tested and highly used builds or build yourself from the official Steem source repositories.</p>
<p>The links below are some very useful guides on Steem mining created by some good people here on Steemit. Remember to give the contributors some STEEM power for their time and effort for making our lives easier.</p>
