It all happened yesterday morning around 9:30am as I was trying to publish a new post then I kept on getting an error message saying:


![error.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/techlhab/23qreyC9VPUoBkKXK4exdX3kZhaCThapQwoUHC1Gf1SuooHWck95V62Cq21juSzJNJnsr.PNG)

I didn't understand what was happening then I had to log out and tried to login back it was at that point i kept seeing error logging in back to my account.

Then I thought of it that how could I have been hacked. After taking a deep thought then I realized that I was from a link I click on @lovesniper post comment and that was how the hacker got my hive account authentication details.

It all seem very strange to me because I am just a month and few weeks old on hive. Then I tried checking my keychain mobile app to monitor my wallet, it was then I realized that I have been hacked as I saw that all my HBD (Hive Backed Dollar) of ```68.755``` as been withdrawn and my HP (Hive Power) has started powering down.

It hurts my alot on seeing this because ever since I signed up on hive I have not made any withdrawal of my earning from my posts and engagements on hive.


Then I reached out to @starstrings01 and explained to him what as happened. I don't know how best I can compensate or appreciate him enough for his help as he indeed help me to recover my account back from the hacker. And I am very grateful @starstrings01. 

Glory be to God and all thanks to @starstrings01, I got my hive account back yesterday night and was able to stop the Hive Power Down initiated by the hacker and I would greatly appreciate any donations or delegations towards recovering from my loss.

I learnt a very great lesson yesterday and I pray and hope such won't happen ever again. And I really hope this hackers are been dealt with and proper justice is been made because I know that I won't be the only victim of it and they won't stop hacking and causing people pains.

Thanks for reading 🤝.

I hope that everything now is ok with your account. It is so sad when all the earnings disappeared just in seconds, but this is also a good lesson that we all must know - not to click on suspicious links.
