Important Note!!!
Recently, within these steemit down-time errors, several steemians created steemit interfaces (condenser), which appears exactly like steemit. I have seen a couple of them e.g yehey.org but today on the steemgigs discord, someone brought this link:
steemit.press/Update-December-2017
Upon first look, you may think it is one of those full steemit condenser interfaces but this one is quite different, thus, i almost am certain that it is a phishing site.
Yes, the url is "https" but it looks really crafty and tallied; fully-placed to coincide with all the recent events with steemit, upcoming steemfest and especially, the new steemit condenser interfaces, that have been created by several steemians recently.
There is a stark difference between the link above and yehey.org for instance. Yehey.org is a complete replica of steemit, in how it looks.
steemit.press/Update-December-2017/ however, looks like this:
On PC, unlike yehey.org which displayed a steemit-like interface with all the interface, like a full steemit condenser, the link above was different. Only the log-in aspect to the page works, with all other clickables linking back to steemit.com.
I did change my password after trying the site as i was logged in to steemit and steemit requested that i log out!
I tried it on a fone next to be sure of matters and upon using wrong credentials, it doesn't reject it like steemit does with "username doesn't exist"; it just leads next to an html type page, that looks like steemit but that stays on "loading......" endlessly.
I wonder what the solution to this can be but perhaps steemit INC can purchase all likely domains containing the word "steemit" or constantly publish all domain names directly associated with them.
Parts were deleted as it as a duplicate post but this part of it is important.
Be wary of using your steemit keys or password on:
