I know we can't save everyone, but you can protect yourself against phishing attacks by trusting in common sense. If an offer is too good to be true, there is definitely something to it and it should be questioned. It is a pity to see that so many users have lost control of their keys and that their accounts are being emptied.

Stay Safe!

Any idea how they got phished? Was trying to recover a few of them this morning.

Not yet - needs to talk to those people behind the accounts and double-tripple-check what they did and what they all have common.

Looks like common sense is not so common. Otherwise there would not be so many hacked accounts. People should not give their wallet keys to others at all. And they should always double (or triple) check the website address, where they login to their Hive accounts.

Thanks for bringing this important piece to our view. I'm sure many people just like myself will benefit a lot from this. I will be careful not to open link that is not familiar nor comes from a direct source.

Thanks for warning, share to get message further out...

@tipu curate

Thank you for looking out for others. Be safe out there guys.
