My account is not compromised! Beware of phishing links!
My account is not compromised.
Word is users are spreading phishing links using my profile picture (It's not me, it's just a picture, look at the rep it says 75).
Don't click these links:
Example:
@surfermarly mistakenly gave away her Masterkey after clicking this link! (A login window appeared).
NEVER USE YOUR MASTERKEY EVER! ONLY USE IT TO CHANGE YOUR OTHER KEYS.
USE YOUR POSTING KEY FOR POSTING AND YOUR ACTIVE KEY FOR TRANSFERRING.

I found this out about 3 hours ago, wanted to reply, but pushed on the picture :-S
As long as the website where it leads us isn't putting a virus om my divises I'm gona be oké!
It's likely just scraping usernames/passwords, but it would be a good idea to run a virus scan.
Or check the URL on www.virustotal.com and see what they get.
wtf is going on? How do they manage to use an account with the name exyle and a 75 rep score?
Its just a picture.
I’m a little confused...
But I guess it’s a tremendously well-done phishing attempt
Normal comment here and a picture below.
Someone stole your content. Click here!
Ahhh so the comment is being made by the eruda account. I see now. Some damn good formatting for a bad cause
@exyle its more like this LOL, just a short edit in windows paint :
I just checked it out, it is indeed an image that was posted, which made it look as if @exyle reacted to the previous reaction. Indeed very crafty phishing, but luckily discovered now. Too bad for @surfermarly her 90+ liquid steem that got nicked...
Indeed, I was just asking myself the same question... That is not good news!
It's a picture. Nowadays we gotta be extra paranoid about stuff. I mean... What are the odds @exyle come and inform you about a "content theft"? It just doesn't sound right.
Gotta admit, that's a clever scam. Pity being clever doesn't make up for being a lowlife scammer.
My exact thoughts. If only they use their intelligence towards something good.
Such a shame that people use their creativity for bad instead of good.... Thanks for the heads up big homie!!!!!
Resteemed, let's exterminate those creatures....
Yea, the image is in png format with transparent background. So it works on both night mode and not night mode.
It is so unfortunate that people part of such a great community will resort to this to take advantage of users not paying attention. Fortunately, the platform gives options to reduce this risk by staking and using the savings feature while you can recover your account.
Thank you for letting us know, @exyle! You have to be careful because it's a scam. They are surely taking advantage of this strange moment that is happening steemit and all. Let's be alert and denounce!
Wow, that is a fairly clever way to try to imitate someone. Jesus lol
Thanks for notifying us!
