What if a non-Hive users buys 1,000,000 (or however many) HIVE on Binance for example and leaves it on Binance wallet.

Some time later this person sees a Tweet in which he learns he can get 16% return for Powering Up and Delegating his HIVE, so decided to open a HIVE account to be able to do this.

Upon signing up for Hive he immediately sees he has a message, reads it and (naively perhaps) clicks it, signs up to this (presumably because several people have said so that i know of) scam and unknowingly discloses the combination to his safe (i've not clicked so i'm not sure what happens). Nothing untoward happens so he does not realise what he has done.

Anyway, he goes to Binance and transfers his 1,000,000 HIVE (or whatever it is) to his new HIVE account, then almost immediately the scammer withdraws all the funds. The scammer would presumably have set up an alert so as soon as the funds in one of the accounts reaches a certain level. This way new accounts would not be affected with initially 0 HIVE, but once they reach a level of 100, or 1,000 HIVE when it's worth the scammers time to drain the account, Bob's your Uncle, it's gone.

What would this do for the reputation of Hive, @Leofinance, @cubfinance etc. if a new user was scammed of $1 million dollars because a known possibility that this could happen was not fixed because it was not considered a bug? I hazard a guess it would be very bad. What if it was Elon Musk who opened Hive account and lost $1 million bucks. It could spell disaster for Hive Network including of course the price.

I stand by my initial thoughts of this being an (URGENT) #bug to fix.
