I am sad to see my loyal friends getting abused and flagged by the group of anonymous people.
This time it got serious as upto hijacking an account with phishing links. Though it is not an entire new thing that we haven't seen - no such. But still it's linked to one's hard-earned rep. score, rewards as well as peace of mind.
One thing - the 2FA Verification, if included as a feature on steemit it would be a great thing.
Lastly, thanks to the helping hands that reminds us of the Humanity that still persists! 
RE: I am very delighted to get my steemit recovered account which was hacked.
