RE: Lesson Learned: Further Investigation of Walictd Account Stolen Case
I had a good look at this over the weekend with steemchiller and whilst we have some ideas, there’s nothing conclusive.
My recommendation would be to report it to the authorities so that Binance can identify the account holder and get then arrested. Most countries will have some IT fraud law and their identity should be easy for Binance to identify. There’s usually significant prison time for this type of crime.
Yes, it is better to pay attention to it. we cannot make any conclusion since there is no valid evidence about the root cause of the case. As you have talked to steemchiller, perhaps you can find a way to expose the culprit behind these things. I once experienced in Binance that when I transferred coins to a suspicious address, they blocked it directly and canceled the transaction with a warning. Perhaps, they will do the same when it is reported to Binance.
We only have our suspicions, linked to previous events so it would be wrong to accuse anybody. One thing is for certain::
If users enter their Active (or any other key) into a system (for whatever reason), they should then change their keys
Any voting authority will remain but if somebody is trying to collect keys, then they will have the wrong ones
Keys are essentially a password to your bank account. It’s important that this is understood and treated in the same way.
It’s best for the victim to report it to the police and Binance.
You are right; changing the key after logging into a system is a "must-do". I will bring that into one of our meet-up topics in Indonesia later.
Reporting to the police will end up nowhere here in my country
