I was one of the Steemit Hack Victims, I didn’t get mad I got STEEM’ED! Part II

(I'm posting this for my friend @StreetStyle who was a victim of the Steemit Hack. His account has been frozen and asked me to share this to the Steemit Community)

First, let me thank Hive account@edreno for posting my first letter about this since my account has been on lock down. I also want to thank those who upvoted and commented on Hive account@edreno’s blog in regards to this letter, such as Hive account@bobbylee , Hive account@bitcoinmeister , Hive account@ned , Hive account@savagesteemit Hive account@blocktraedes and many others.

I am following up on my letter since I see some of you had questions in regards to the hack and what is currently going on.

Unfortunately for me, as one the 250 or so Steemit Hack victims, I am Unable to access my account. Fortunately for me and the other victims, Ned and the Steem Team were alerted to the situation early, and more importantly reacted and contained the breach quickly. So my funds are still there in my wallet. You can see my wallet Hive account@streetstyle

So for now I am content in introducing Steemit to everyone I know. I preached about Bitcoin as soon as I heard about it back in 2013. And now I am a Steem fanatic. I have this strong sense that Steemit is going to be the next driving force towards introducing cryptocurrencies to the masses. And so now I am on this mission to introduce Steemit to just about everyone I can.

Earlier today I received an email from Ned and steemit.com. Steemit is fully functional and working normally for all users, except for those that were breached like mine. (to read what happened to my account see Hive account@edreno ’s blog with my letter he reposted for me). For those that were breached, they are currently working on creating special logons for us in order to prevent the theft of our funds by those hackers. Currently, the phenomenal growth of Steemit has kept the Steem Team quite busy.

Once again, this is a good time to re-iterate to all online users, especially those with valuable accounts, to practice good online password security. With today’s processing power, 8 letter passwords are no longer safe. For best practices, you must use upper and lower case letters, numerals and symbols.

So for now, I must wait before my account is unlocked. For all of the lucky Steemit users who can still post,

FULL $TEEM AHEAD!! ======> www.steemit.com

ps. I want to thank Hive account@savagesteemit for posting this story for me since my account is still locked out, & Hive account@edreno for posting my first letter.

I also want to thank Ned and the rest of the team at Steemit for keeping us informed of the situation.
