I almost lost my account yesterday due to Phishing, and it was a really close call!
A comment from @rajatj205 saying someone had copied my work without my permission so I clicked on the link to see what the fuss was all about!
The website It took me to was so similar to steemit it looked perfectly alike!
The only fishy thing was that it asked for my password again. If you have noticed Steemit doesn't do that when you open a new tab. I was quite surprised and was lazy to re-enter my password. So I just viewed it and closed the tab.
Later I received a comment from @arcange stating
Then I revisited the link and I was surprised to see this
Man that was close!! If I had entered my password there I would have gift wrapped it and directly handed it over to the scammer and there is nothing I could have done later on.
Note : The domain name might be anything other than steemit so keep that in mind
If you see such activities make sure you report them to either @steemcleaners on steemit.chat or
@arcange they shall take care of it!
Stay safe, stay secured!! Have a good day fellas!
