RE: CAUTION: Steemit Clone Stealing Passwords + 50 SBD Reward for an Anti-Phishing Browser Extension
Thank you for sharing this with the community. Another user posted something similar yesterday as he got scammed through the same scammer's website. Here is the link: https://steemit.com/steemit/@nossy/be-careful-where-you-click-or-steem-phishing-or-stolen-sbd-from-users-or#@nossy
Talking about links, the browser extension should also reveal hidden phishing links in links in comments (bit.ly and other URL shorteners as well) as that is the way people are being deceived.
We are willing to contribute an additional 25 SBD to the VERIFIED and LEGITIMATE programmer(s) that will take on this project.
Stay safe and always verify the links before clicking on them.
P.S. There are some web scripts that will even click on links on a page without you even doing it! Now that is scary! One thing that may help is having the AdBlocker extension on.
Yep, I have seen that. It really enrages me that this kind of stuff is going on but it doesn't surprise me at all. As our accounts become more valuable over time and steemit grows this kind of attacks will just be more often and sophisticated. I really hope someone makes the extension :)
Thanks for the support and willingness to donate more for the cause.
That's insane, but I always have adblocker on though :)
Would be nice if you could post an update post once the anti-phishing extension is created and give a shout out to all involved ;) Cheers!
Will do, as mentioned in my new post the community will have a week to test the apps and decide which is the best. You'll be see all the devs involved and apps made. Thanks for your contribution to the cause!
