RE: My Account @Surfermarly Got Just Hacked! Please Don't Open Any Posts Submitted By @Surfermarly!!!

Thank you so much, Lea!
Lucky me, I was able to recover the account quickly through the general recovery process from Steemit, Inc.

I will need to be much more attentive in the future.
However, my biggest takeaway is that the community has really been amazing in that situation! I don't know if I have ever experienced something similar before. Truly awesome and beyond that!!! :-)

Thanks for being with me on my rollercoaster day, hehe

    I'm actually SUPER impressed by how quickly you were able to recover your account! I've always wondered how much Steemit inc. was actually able to help if someone got your keys - and it is super encouraging to hear how helpful they were.

    I'm so glad that this horrible, crazy situation turned into such a bright moment of love from the community. <3

      Honestly I was super impressed, too. It's the advantage of setting up an account via Steemit. They have a really efficient security system!

      Thanks for being with me, Lea!!! :-)

        what did you have to do to recover your account? they make it sound like if you lose your keys it is all over.

          It highly depends on where you created your account and how fast you (re)act. Steemit offers an official recovery process HERE. You may also want to consider the FAQ for more information on the procedure.
