Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S7W6 - Careful, Has your Steemit account been hacked?

Crime on the internet is increasingly widespread. Sometimes it happens not because there is the intention from the culprit. However, some opportunities and loopholes can be by the perpetrator. Account hacking occurs because there is a gap, so our job as Steemian is to close the hacking gap as best as possible..

Steemit is a blockchain-based social media that has the highest security. Having four keys with each function is a very perfect thing. Our task is to take very good care of it. And the best storage place is offline.

I've passed my first two years in Steemit. Many things have been missed. I am grateful that my account has never been hacked. However, someone once used my name as their account name on Hive Blockchain. Please note that I only have a Steemit account. And I've classified it on this subject.

Prize offers that are scattered in the comments column sometimes make some Steemians fooled by them. I'm grateful. So far, I've never used my Steemit private active key for an account that I'm not sure about.

Even to minimize hacking Steemit accounts, I never allow my smartphone browser application to save Steemit passwords.

Protecting our account from hacking is our job. And avoiding things that make it easy for hackers is our greatest obligation. To minimize hacking, I don't store my Steemit account online in any cloud.

I suggest the same. Here are some ways to prevent our account from being hacked.

1. Never give your Steemit account password to anyone else.
2. Never save passwords in your smartphone browser.
3. Never store passwords online in the cloud.

Those are three things you need to remember to prevent account hacking.

Some accounts get hacked sometimes not because of any intent from the hacker. But because of an opportunity for them. Therefore, our job is to take good care of our passwords and close as tightly as possible the gaps that can be infiltrated by them..

For those whose accounts have been hacked, don't be discouraged. Prove to the public what really happened. Then replace your Steemit password with a new one and save it as best you can in a safer place.

Hopefully, hacking doesn't happen to our account. It is something that will ruin the dreams of all of us. And if that happens, we must immediately take a stand in a way change the new password. After that, I'll make a publication that it's a hack. And most likely, we will lose the trust of Team Steemit and Steemian friends.

Thus posting my participation in the Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S7W6 - Careful, Has your Steemit account been hacked? I invite @liasteem, @franyeligonzalez, and @nahela to participate in this contest. Thanks to the Steemit team and Steemian friends who always support me. I appreciate it.
