I have to admit, this platform is revolutionary in a time for information. But there is a line that we need to draw.
There is a reason I wanted to bring this up. Another user on here was absolutely targeted, baited and phished. This user is a friend of mine, but I also realize that this can, will and has affected a lot of people. This HAS TO BE STOPPED.
How many users here understand that their profile also has a "wallet" tab. Most of you? Okay Good! Let us look into this a bit more shall we?
When you go to ANOTHER user's profile, you can still see this tab! Hmm, let's click on it! This is my friend @Nossy. Check out this screenshot.
YOU CAN LITERALLY CLICK PEOPLES WALLETS. Hey Steem Team, ask yourselves, ask your users this one simple question: Would I like it, If I was apart of a community and that community literally grabbed the wallet out of my pocket at any time and helped themselves?
I'll give you the answer, right here for free! I would not like it 100%. I would leave that community quick-smart, there is a massive breach of trust and privacy. It is the same here, no excuses.
Let's go even deeper. If I continue scrolling, I wait and let the website load. I now have COMPLETE access to their ENTIRE transaction history. This is no different from having someone, willy-nilly go through your entire bank statement in the mail.
There are accounts out there that are using names in vain, stalking out potential targets and using these tools against people to take advantage and steal. The latest transaction from my friend's account was NOT AUTHORISED. This access was fished by dropping comments like this:
Without a doubt, when you click on these links you will be redirected to a 1:1 mirrored Steem website, with some variation. If you're not as quick or cautious, you will find yourself submitting your account details and bam, its all over, red rover.
Here is an exmaple:
In Conclusion, There is a problem, it needs to be addressed. We as a community have to openly discuss things and work towards solutions. @Grumpycat your infamous name is used in vain. Here is a link to the responsible accounts.

These are just the ones caught. Please be vigilant.
Thats it from me for now! Sorry I've been gone a while! Please check out my boy @Nossy
And as always, Stay Awesome, Til the next time.
