The HACKING also exists on Steemit and as our account steemit it is a little like our bank account, it is necessary to be very vigilant!
You certainly do not want to see your wallet empty and me either.

2- Know how to identify dangerous links and report them
Indeed, plagiarism and other abuses also exist on Steemit and it is important to know how to spot and report them quickly!
- Personal experience :
One of my followers @ghulammujtaba sent me a comment to tell me that my post had been plagiarized by another user.
Indeed, by clicking on this link I saw all my content appear on the account of another user! It's weird the first time! And then we get used to XD.
Well, I share with you the anecdote about this story... I flagged @ghulammujtaba by mistake! And yes, poor man, I thought it was an attempt to hack, as I told in my first post. So I panicked and flagged. But luckily, I was able to quickly remove my flag and apologize ... Oops... XD.
