Perhaps it might be advised that people's wallet contents not be visible to all users as it may make a person liable to become a hacking target. For instance, the contents of my wallet would make it not worth the effort to conduct a hacking attack. I understand the benefits of transparency, but the risk/reward becomes easier to assess when a potential hacker/scumbag opportunist can see the honey in the pot. I have resteemed the warning post about the phishing scam, which emanated from a fake Steemit security message. Users beware.
