[ SCAM ALERT ] : Be Aware of @steemitsecurity sending memo messages to scam Steemians

Scam Alert: Do not respond to Hive account@steemitsecurity and their instructions !

As Steemit becomes more and more known in the world, we also attract a lot of new scammers to Steemit. People that are mainly here to get a quick buck with no emotions to those losing in this fight.

Today i received a Wallet Memo Message warning me that the security my account is compromised, and with the instructions to email them and await instructions. You can see the following message below and can be found in my wallet history.

What are they trying to do ?

What do we know and why is this a scam ?

So lets first be very clear. Steemit as part of the bigger picture (The Blockchain) does not have a costumer support nor a security team. You are responsible for the safety of your account and you only. There is no place you can run to when shit hits the fan, and there are no security accounts (people) working to serve you and your needs. You yourself are in charge and responsible for the safety of your logins.

Hive account@steemitsecurity is pretending to be a Steemit security providing you a service to warn you on your account security and give instructions may be necessarily. But do they really ? There is no way in the world for them to know my account security. Without my keys you do know nothing more then my account name and the info "I" do provide. They pretend to send you instructions but they ONLY try to get as much information from as as possible.
SO DO NOT SEND Hive account@steemitsecurity ANY INFORMATION !!
