Response from Blocktrades Regarding the Hacker's Account @clementin
If you read my post yesterday, you will know what it is about. @clementin and other accounts are involved in phishing and stealing a lot of money from different users. And what I mean with a lot of money is about 2000$. I mailed Blocktrades today and asked if there is a possibility to freeze their account and return the money to the reward pool. This was their response.
So if anyone of you knows about any other phishing accounts, please report them to Blocktrades and warn other Steemians here. This will at least help to limit their activities, until we find an other solution.
You can check my post about the topic here:

I think SteemIt will need to add an extra layer of security. What we have, clearly isn't enough,
Yes absolutely! And users need be aware of whats going on and try to be safe.
Appreciate the update. At least this means they can't use blocktrades as an "exit point" with their stolen Steem.
Sometimes I wonder whether it's simply the "price of freedom" that people will try to abuse that freedom for personal gain...
=^..^=
Thats the fact even in real life. When you give people freedom, at least 30% of them takes it wrong :(
Hi @hanen.
