RE: *** WARNING! *** New Steemit Phishing Scam -- Be Very Careful with Certain Comments

in #scam7 years ago

While it’s not new this is first time I have heard about it in a few months now. Scammers must back at their old tricks again.

Sort:  

Yes, I remember some similar things going around-- last time they came as "wallet spam," as I recall. This is a little more insidious because the links LOOK legit, but if you hover your cursor over them you can see the hidden redirect.

Last time if I'm not mistaken it started out as this then spread into wallet spam with them claiming there been an account security issues.

Wonder if they will ever include peoples rep score in wallet transactions as well. Or even an option to enable a second key code requirement to send or use steem/sbd

Yes, it would be nice if there were more security measures... I like how there are now prefilled fields for people you're already connected to when you make a wallet transfer... makes it all but impossible to put a type in an exchange's username, for example.

On another site I was on-- many years ago-- there was something called a "web of trust" that worked independently of reputation. Reputation is automatically calculated... web of trust could be a purely manually created score.
