Hacked - "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD WOMEN"

in #phisch7 years ago

One thing that I respect about STEEMIT is how they set up a mandatory password that you must use. It makes it a little harder to hack. Sorry, but on Bittrex if you are not computer savvy, then the procedure screams, "Hey, come hack me!I Did not set up 2 F. Was going to do this later. SO foolish! Wish I had to to get an account.
HERE IS MY STORY:On a Sunday morning I awakened to use my limit money to buy bitcoin and hurriedly wanted to transfer it to Bittrex to buy NEO. I needed that address from Bittrex so I hurriedly searched for the address(mistake #1). A secure address came up so I thought click on that because it said Norton Safe. BUT, what it did was take me to Bltrexx.com,and I missed looking up and checking(mistake2).Then I get a message "Doing security check, please enter your email address. A screen that looks like Yahoo''s appears and thinking it really is a security issue put my password in(Unforgivable mistake#3). It says it might take 5 minutes to update. In that time they went into my email and pretended to be me, deleted the Bittrex notification(which I recovered), set up 2F and blocked Bittrex. My Bittrex account is till locked and no response from ticket. PLEASE LEARN FROM ME IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS GAME. Thankfully, only lost 36 NEO. The IP address is from Belgium which I found on the email they deleted from my account. I have never felt this much rage and would love to track them down!
