Hello steemians.. It was so surprising and unbelievable yesterday when I woke up to see that my steemit account has been hacked!!

I felt hopeless and helpless... Was wondering maybe it was because I have not posted for long that could make steem change my password cos I can't remember giving it to anybody else before.
This happened a day ago.. I was trying to login yesterday and it was displaying incorrect password.
A friend recommended me to this link.. Which I am strongly recommending for everyone incase if your account is hacked, you can easily get it back if you have your previous original password.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MY HACKED ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT BACK TO ME BY THE ALMIGHTY STEEM TECH TEAM THROUGH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LINK ABOVE.. I JUST GOT BACK MY ACCOUNT FEW HOURS AGO.
Please friends.. Do not disclose your personal information or password to anyone.. Cos you don't know whom to trust.. I don't even you who did this to me.. Or how he or she succeeded so I trust know one now.
THANKS TO THE CREATOR OF STEEMIT ECOSYSTEM.
Im @tobyblac and I am grateful to steemit.
