Changing my Keys today and removing some permissions!

avatar

Some of you guys might have already heard but apparently yesterday a number of people got their liquid HIVE and HBD's stolen from their accounts.

This is not really the first time this kind of thing happened on the blockchain but if we believe what @kennyroy said on his blog post to which I think he is telling the truth about not clicking anything (links or whatnot) then this is really worrying. Here's the full detail on what happened to him btw: https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@kennyroy/warning-phishing-attack-they-ve-got-me

Anyways, and so I remember I haven't yet changed my password here on HIVE since the split. Meaning my STEEM and HIVE still have the same password. So I'm changing it now just to be safe.

I also checked some of the apps I have given permission to and while I trust most of this apps before, I think it is better to be safe than sorry. So I'm removing permissions from some of this apps that I honestly don't bother using anymore like Holybread there.

Again for all you guys out there, check your permissions once in a while. And if you haven't done it yet, it's probably also better to have different keys on Steem and in HIVE.
