Note: changing your keys might not be enough if you have authorized apps to use your account. You must revoke the app in order to keep them from using your vote.

Thanks for bringing that up. Right now it is unsure if they have keys or using a posting authority.

It doesn’t appear they have their own authority and are either using someone else’s they has access to or more likely using actual posting keys farmed via an app or accidentally leaked.

They don't use steemconnect. I signed up to check and you have to enter your posting key onto the side. It's probably saved into their own DB. So everyone who is affected by these fuckers should change his/her keys asap.

Maybe not related to this case but it's always good to review what apps are authorized to your account.

This app is not listed there.


Please excuse the editing.
In this app, the private key was saved directly on the website :-(

good idea just to review this in general. i have granted access to a ton of apps that arent even valid anymore. thats ending. tx

Good point....just revoked a bunch

A list of accounts that have voted for @steemengineteam

Might be quicker to check than logging on to alt accounts. (Ctrl+F to search)

Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for putting that list together

Glad it is of use :) I didn't fancy logging into 10 alts to see if they'd voted somewhere!

Phew!! Not on the list...
Thank you :)

I am on your list and have changed my password, but cannot find a vote for that post thru steemworld.org or https://steemd.com/ireland/@steemengineteam/ireland-its-time-to-hop-aboard-the-steemengine-2019-10-19

How did you get the names on your list?

I used @steemsql and checked every vote to the account, not just the post above.

Thanks for the reply and for using your access to SteemSQL to run the query. Do you know of another way I could look for the posts my account voted for?

There used to be a couple of places but they seem not to be running now.

same here @mytechtrail. Via Asher's link I am on the list of voters, but on steemworld and steemd, my name didnt show up

For Vienna, i downvoted it manually earlier

And for the 3rd link you gave, it was manually too

What am talking about is the Ireland post where my name is listed as voter on your list, yet am not on steemworld and steemd for that Ireland post. So thats the odd one.

Then you must be in the clear :)

The list was all votes on the account, with number of votes next to each account.

Apologies for the confusion.

Does this mean that those who are included have been infected?

I would change your keys to be safe.

Don't forget to back them up.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm on the list.

If you choose to change your keys, which i think is being advised, don't forget to make an offline copy.

Already done. It's on files on USB and printed out. :-)
Thanks so much for your help on this.

Thanks for list @abh123454, helped to do quick check.

Big thanks to @themarkymark for head up on this.

My name is on that list but I don't see any vote going out from my account to that post in, I just checked the last 3 days using steemworld. The only votes are the ones I just did manually (4% and then back to 0%). Why is my username on that list if no vote came out from my account? @abh12345?

Edit: I think I know why my account is on that list, because I voted them in the past. But I haven't vote in their posts in months perhaps even more than a year.

Yes that is the reason and you have likely changed your keys and/or removed authority so should be good.

Thank you! !BEER



Hey @abh12345, here is a little bit of BEER for you. Enjoy it!

Freaky stuff I tell ya. That list is long.

Realized how little I use steemconnect now due to steemkeychain. Time to revoke most of the apps.

.

I saw that but it is obviously storing keys as it used votes from people who have not logged in a long time.

I didn't sign up to autovote for them...

I'm not linked to their Steem account - just their official steem-engine.com site. I'm not autovoting them (I double checked.) It would also appear - looking at the Steem account mentioned above - that these people are trying to do a serious phishing scam.

Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to help those who are trying to figure out the leak.

I didn't think so.
But your previous comment was very confusing to me then. I haven't linked an account with them...

I agree. It isn't a leak... it's their business model of defaulted autocuration vote trading.

I'm going to share this post in the neoxian discord. Thanks for the heads up. Luckily my vote wasn't used.

who was that guy who screwed over CC? gotta wonder if he had a few alts...

yah that shtcnt as cope would say...

Seems like upvotes are mostly done with the users of this application, directly with the users' keys. Regarding the app accounts, here are the most common apps authorized amongst upvoters (2810)

[('busy.app', 1199), 
('steemauto', 727),
 ('dtube.app', 688), 
('steem.app', 615),
 ('dmania.app', 552), 
('dlive.app', 530), 
('bottracker.app', 441), 
('steemhunt.com', 358), 
('partiko-steemcon', 350), 
('utopian.app', 289)]

This information itself doesn't point anything exactly, though. I was curious, here is the data for others also.

okay - the only one of those I use is SteemAuto. I just checked that one too (changing keys, etc, with SteemConnect as well...) I didn't have any unauthorized autovotes.

Time to create a steem police force

Why that?! We care for each other, do we? Anything more then this eventually gets worse, don't you think?

Thankfully I am not on this list, but whats the best way of changing your keys?

Luckily I am not affected by this, but thanks for letting people know.

I hope that no big harm comes out of this, and everyone gets to go on about their doings without having to worry much.
