Re: Steemit.com: Blogging is the new Mining

My account was in the first round of hacking - but looking at it, it looks fine. I just can't log in with my master key.

From what I understand, someone posted a page with an XSS exploit - and anyone who browsed that page became compromised. My account got frozen on Friday (the first round). So I think I'm OK if only I could figure a way to get back in.

I think they are doing a hard fork at 15:00 UTC today and hopefully that resolves things.

Try after the fork, and there will probably be more announcements, but as I understand it at this point, you need to contact steemit support and they will help you recover the account.

They're not responding to emails, but I think that might be because they are inundated. Hopefully they'll allow access via Reddit after the fork.

Well the hard fork came and went, but I still can't log in. This is Day 4 of these shenanigans. Not good.

Excuse me, what happened after the hack? Did you change your passphrases? -east

They froze some accounts (including mine) because they think they might have been compromised - as a result the master password doesn't work. But they haven't figured a way of allowing us to retrieve our accounts and change our passwords. So am locked out!
