RE: Phishing site reported - autosteem(dot)info
I am the victim of AutoSteem(dot)info. After connect its auto comment at many posting and people downvote me. Now my reputation is lower and my post cannot display. They also stole my SBD in my wallet. @arcange said :WARNING - The message you received from @abbyrich is a CONFIRMED SCAM! Pity me. I don't know how to make my reputation back to normal from -1 to 25. I'm a newbie in steemit. Please help me.
Hey @abbyrich
Sorry to hear about your account.
I have been hacked two weeks ago, and I managed to get my account and reputation back. It can be done, but it will require some effort.
First: I’ve written a guide on which steps to take to get your reputation back.
You can find it here:
Got Hacked? Here's How To Get Your Account And Reputation Score Back! (legit link - I promise)
Basically, you’ll need to edit every single phishing comment that has been sent out from your account to make it harmless. (Important: do NOT delete any of the flagged comments. Once deleted, the flag can’t be taken away anymore!)
No worries, in the guide is said you need to do this manually, but meanwhile a script/website has been released which will make the process faster and easier.
I haven’t tried it myself (since it didn't exist when I was hacked), but it should beat editing them one by one, especially if there are a lot of them.
You can find more info about the mass comment editor here:
New Project: Steemit Massive Comment Replace
Once all comments have been replaced by an innocent message, you need to get the flags removed. The Steemcleaners Discord channel should be your first stop (explained in the guide), then you’ll have to explain the situation to everyone who has flagged one of your comments, let them know you’ve edited it and ask them to take the flag away.
Since the phishing scam has been going on for more than two weeks, I assume most people know about it by now. I don’t see why people would refuse to take the flag away when they see the comments is harmless.
I told you, it would take some work. But I’m the living proof that if you take the correct steps, you can get your reputation you’ve worked so hard for back.
Good luck.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, people over at the Steemcleaners Discord channel (https://discord.gg/aVJ5cGy) will be there if you need more help.

This is amazing info, I can't believe it doesn't have more upvotes. Very helpful. I haven't been hacked but I'll definitely use this info if I ever do. I almost fell for the one the original post mentions but it just felt fishy. Now I'm interested in busy.org but am worried that it was Steem info so I'm trying to get opinions on it. And does anyone know why I can't resteem this article?
You can’t resteem posts that are past-payout (7 days old)
What you can do (I did it inthe past), is write a new post with a short introduction and then add a link to this post to it.
Awesome thanks Simplymike. This is an amazing service that Arcange provides to the community and, as for me, is greatly appreciated. As well as your kind help with resteem I g and reposting. Thanks much
Hey @abbyrich
I see you’ve got (some of) your reputation score back.
Could you let me know if you used the mass comment replacement script and if it worked?
Yes, I used replacement script and it worked. Thanks for your suggestion.
