Beautiful post

Wow this is becoming more and more popular on steemit...we need to be more careful people... Thank you @drakos, resteeming this for more visibility.... @dee-y over and out.

I don't know what some people gain from hacking others accounts. I just don't know. 

Thanks boss @drakos for sharing 


@dhavey

Hackers everywhere here on steemit. Please steemians be careful, so that you do loose your hard earned reward to some lazy thwarts you are not ready to work but the steal and destroy the valuable effort of other. Thanks @drakos for domain look-up

Thanks @drakos for exposing these criminals. I hope a people learn to avoid these criminals. Thanks. Resteemed..

I wish those people doing this will suffer. My friends were scammed recently

Thanks for the info. It means so much to the person who not expert in IT like me.

Hey @drakos thanks for commenting and upvoting my post about the same thing, as you see I propose that the victims report it straight to the authorities in Malaysia: https://ereporting.rmp.gov.my/index.aspx

Because that hosting company could just be a front, and sending them angry emails probably won't work if that is the case...

Thanks for helping many in this community from falling victim of this kind of scam. Am now guided

what a shit people exist,  why we all have the same possibilities here.  Rats!

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not tech savvy but I haven't been a victim of phishing. It was only a matter of time till it came to Steem...sadly

Steemit is becoming popular , so is the spam attacks now

Ah! good to know!!

@drakos Nice post. Thanks for the heads up. Cant we ban these guys?

Thank for sharing

Hi @drakos , thanks for the warning. 
You may filed your complaint to Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC): https://www.mcmc.gov.my/resources/guidelines/complaints-handling-resolution

Hope this helps.

Wow! Thank you so much for this tips. Now, i know what happened to my friend's account: thedavidadesina. He couldn't log in and he still retains the hope of having it back.

This is a serious problem. we should be more careful  when clicking on any links not just here on steemit but anywhere on internet. 

Two thing come to mind when verifying the authenticity
1. Source (making sure that who has provided the said link and is the source is authentic ? )
 2. Checking the link URL (https:// mark and site name)

In any case

## if you don't trust it then don't click on it.

Thank you for sharing the information @drakos

I made a Chrome extension to try help with identifying those links more easily:

I've been hearing about a lot of this lately in various social media.  I had a near miss with one the other day myself.  Thanks for helping spread awareness.

You really will fall into this trap Thank you for the valuable information You are like me here I wish you a happy weekend![DQmbr7DE1VM7QAURN4T1pS8XTAyrMQggJV1Lc6GqzWGmeEA.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbr7DE1VM7QAURN4T1pS8XTAyrMQggJV1Lc6GqzWGmeEA/DQmbr7DE1VM7QAURN4T1pS8XTAyrMQggJV1Lc6GqzWGmeEA.gif)

Thanks for letting us know. I will pass it along. Everyone should resteem.

Wow, thanks for the heads up! Resteemed and upvoted.

Just to clarify (I don't want to click through one of the links), if I were to click through, it would ask me to login with my steemit credentials, right? So, people are safe if they clicked through but didn't enter their passwords? (That's assuming there isn't other malware at that site, which is a big assumption.)

Account recovered and back up 😁
Thanks again @drakos! If it weren’t for you I would still be emailing back and forth to the guys over at Blocktrades trying to tell them they should provide me with a recovery. Glad you stepped in and made them realize!
I owe you!
@simplymike

Nice info, thanks for sharing !!

@drakos omg, other one?!? i posted earlier today too, about ilovewww attackers...it's horrible what is happening:(!!

Thanks for the great info, I was wondering how long until something like this would happen. good thing I check links :)

Hi @drakos, thanks for the post. Just to be clear, my account wasn't hacked. 

You might have got me in the list because I wrote a post about the same hacking and included the name steemil shortly after simplymike's account was hacked.
