I got robbed on Hive // Fui roubado no Hive

avatar

I was putting off this post because of the frustration I'm feeling, but I think the more time I spend the less I want to think about it, and above all, as much as the level of anger is immense and the desire to let it go is great. , I think that's when we should move.

Well then. I was robbed here at Hive. Simple as that, overnight, a bastard got into my account (I don't know how) and simply transferred the 223 hives I had. I had been waiting for ages, ages to sell these Hives, waiting for the market value to recover and yesterday by chance I decided to access ecency to take a look (lately I haven't had the mood to post here) and to my surprise the money was gone. .. I immediately went to observe the transfers wishing it was a technical problem, but no, there it was.

Obviously I didn't know who this @wwefun was and there was no reason I should have transferred that money to him. Desperate I went to Discord for help and had the help of the very helpful @thekittygirl who told me that this damn useless bastard, human garbage, walking rotten named @wwefun is a well-known thief on Hive and that uses user slips to steal your accounts. Normally this would happen through the user's mistake of putting his password in the "memo" when making a transfer, but I'm 99% sure that I didn't make that mistake! Of course, anyone can make mistakes, but I've been using the Hive to Binance transfer system for over a year now and I've NEVER done that! And likewise, I believe I have not made any downloads to be stolen by "pishing". And it's just driving me crazy because I DON'T KNOW how this damn bastard accessed my account. Plus he didn't change my password, he just logged in, transferred my money and left. At least that's what it looks like. So I took the opportunity to quickly change the keys so that he can no longer access it, but honestly? I'm not feeling safe at all, and I don't know how to feel safe around here again.

I lost an amount that was really big for me, I needed to pay bills with that money. And the most feeling of our current situation of modernity governed by cryptocurrencies system is exactly to know who the "thief" is, see his "face", know his "address" and not be able to do ANYTHING. Because this is part of decentralization, of freedom. I wonder to what extent the concept of virtual freedom and protection and independence works, if in this case a criminal already known for stealing money from the social network is walking around, does it mean that a pedophile could fill Hive with pedophilia without being punished? Not even having his profile taken down? Anyway, I just used this example to try to understand all this shit. But now let's get to the facts, I can't do anything now that I've lost the money, at least that's what I understood, even so I was curious to observe this son of a bitch's behavior and observed that:

His profile is worthless. He's been active since 2018. And he looks like a motherfucking robot.

screenshot_3.png
Interestingly it has 8 followers!! And one of them even with a relatively high score: @marcusmalone

screenshot_4.png
Apparently the human-garbage lives off theft transfers, as we can see here. I could even enter each of the profiles of those who were stolen by him to try to communicate, but honestly I lack energy for that and after all, following the rules of the community I ask myself: Would this be of any use?

afdf.png
Even so, I went to take a look at who was receiving or sending to @wwefun and I discovered several profiles that look like bots just like him, and curiously some real profiles that are used, like this one @dexpartacus , which made me very curious .

Why would he be sending Hives to this @mxchive? And of course, @mxchive gets it from people like the human-trash @wwefun. Is it a money theft network? Is it an obese 26-year-old virgin doing this through bot programming? I don't know!

I do not know anything else. I can't get anything through this, I just wanted to share my frustration, my indignation, and my absolute guilt-free hatred for people like these who live like worms.

Eu estava adiando esse post devido ao tamanho da frustração que estou sentindo, mas acho que quanto mais tempo passar menos vou querer pensar nisso, e acima de tudo, por mais que o nível de revolta seja imenso e o desejo de deixar para lá seja grande, acho que é nessas horas que devemos se mexer.

Pois bem. Eu fui roubado aqui no Hive. Simples assim, de um dia para outro um desgraçado entrou em minha conta (não sei como) e simplesmente transferiu os 223 hives que eu tinha. Eu vinha esperando há tempos, tempos para vender esses Hives, esperando o valor do mercado recuperar e ontem por acaso resolvi acessar o ecency para dar uma olhada (ultimamente não tenho tido ânimo de postar por aqui) e para minha surpresa o dinheiro havia sumido... Imediatamente eu fui observar as transferências desejando que se tratasse de algum problema técnico, mas não, lá estava.

screenshot_1.png

É óbvio que eu não sabia quem era esse @wwefun e não havia motivo para eu ter transferido esse dinheiro para ele. Desesperado eu fui pedir ajuda pelo Discord e tive auxílio da muito prestativa @thekittygirl que me disse que esse maldito desgraçado inútil, lixo humano, podridão ambulante chamado @wwefun é um já conhecido ladrão no Hive e que utiliza-se de deslizes dos usuários para roubar suas contas. Normalmente isso se daria através do erro do usuário de colocar seu password no "memo" quando fosse fazer uma transferência, mas eu tenho 99% de certeza que eu não cometi esse deslize! Claro que qualquer um pode errar, mas uso o sistema de transferência de Hive para a Binance há mais de um ano já e JAMAIS fiz isso! E da mesma forma, eu acredito não ter feito nenhum download para ser roubado por "pishing". E isso simplesmente está me deixando louco por que eu NÃO SEI como é que esse maldito desgraçado acessou minha conta. Além do mais ele não mudou minha senha, ele simplesmente entrou, transferiu meu dinheiro e foi embora. Ao menos é isso que parece. Então aproveitei para mudar rapidamente as chaves de forma que ele não possa mais acessar, mas sinceramente? Eu não estou me sentindo nenhum pouco seguro, e não sei como me sentir seguro por aqui novamente.

Eu perdi uma quantia que era realmente grande para mim, eu precisava pagar contas com esse dinheiro. E a sensação mais dessa nossa situação atual da modernidade regida por sistema de crypto moedas é exatamente de saber quem é o "ladrão", ver a "cara" dele, saber o "endereço" dele e não poder fazer NADA. Por que isso faz parte da descentralização, da liberdade. Eu me pergunto até que ponto o conceito de liberdade virtual e proteção e independência funciona, se no caso um bandido já conhecido por roubar dinheiro da rede social está por aí passeando, quer dizer que um pedófilo poderia rechear o Hive de pedofilia sem ser punido? Nem mesmo ter seu perfil derrubado? Enfim, eu só usei esse exemplo para tentar compreender essa merda toda. Mas agora vamos aos fatos, eu não posso fazer nada agora que já perdi o dinheiro, ao menos é isso que compreendi, ainda assim fui curioso observar o comportamento desse filho da puta e observei que:

screenshot_2.png

O perfil dele não vale nada. Ele está ativo desde 2018. E tem cara de robô filho da puta.

screenshot_3.png
Curiosamente tem 8 seguidores!! E um deles até com pontuação relativamente alta: @marcusmalone

screenshot_4.png
Aparentemente o lixo-humano vive de transferências de roubo, como podemos ver por aqui. Eu até poderia entrar em cada um dos perfis dos que foram roubados por ele para tentar comunicação, mas sinceramente me falta energia para isso e afinal, seguindo as regras da comunidade eu me pergunto: Isso serviria de algo?

afdf.png
Ainda assim eu fui dar uma olhada em quem é que estava recebendo ou enviando para @wwefun e descobri vários perfis que parecem bots tal qual ele, e curiosamente alguns perfis reais e que são utilizados, como desse @dexpartacus , o que me deixou bastante curioso.

b.png
Por que ele estaria mandando Hives para esse @mxchive? E claro, @mxchive recebe de pessoas como o lixo-humano @wwefun. É uma rede de roubo de dinheiro? É um obeso virgem de 26 anos que faz isso através de programações de bots? Não sei!

Eu não sei de mais nada. Não consigo nada através disso, apenas queria compartilhar minha frustração, minha indignação e meu ódio absoluto sem culpa por pessoas como essas que vivem como vermes.

The dexpartacus you mentioned is merely one of the many accounts that have lost funds to this wwefun thief, the same as you. I'm just glad we were able to secure your account again so that your staked HIVE (HP) is safe!

We may never know how wwefun gained access to your account. Accidentally pasting the Active Key into a Memo Field was just an initial guess of mine, but proved not to the cause in your case. Many people lose their accounts by clicking on suspicious links which place malware on their devices, using public WiFi (which is not secure) to login to Hive, logging-in every day with their Master Passwords, etc.

Thank you for blogging about your experience! Hopefully, it will serve as a warning to others to exercise caution with their accounts!

Thanks for the clarification about @dexpartacus! My mistake to place him as a participant, this was due to the heat of the moment and the irritation I felt and the lack of interpretation of account transactions. The hardest thing really right now is to build confidence that my account is safe, and I'll honestly participate more cautiously and less willingly. Insecurity is a very limiting factor. I hope this experience helps others to take care of themselves, really! And thanks again for everything!

Really sorry this happened. Yeah, keys in a memo, or logging into a phishing site, which can happen from bad links are the most obvious ways someone can get your keys.

I understand your anger and frustration, sorry to hear it.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your loss of funds. Do you use Hive Keychain add-on?

I do use the Hive Keychain, but I believe a flaw is that my Ecency also has the login memorized by the Edge browser, which I use. It could be that I did something that left my browser vulnerable, although I can't imagine how it happened!

So sorry for losing your fund @thomashnblum this is very depressing going through that thief's account and seeing the numbers of people he had stolen from, then to think that there is nothing anyone can do about it, is so sad.

Yes, it's a very complicated and sad situation, vulnerability takes all the fun out of this journey! Thanks for reading and commenting!

Sad to hear this has happened to you. I would suggest you go to PeakD and check who you have given your Active key to, you need to be careful what you sign-up for and only ever use your posting key. Good luck and best wishes :-)

Thanks! I already changed my keys, but I confess that I still feel insecure. Let's see how the next moments of this journey will be!

I'm really sorry about this. Such events makes one to think of decentralisation as being too illusive. It makes one question the nature of Decentralised platforms.

Everywhere around Hive, just look deeper, it has turned into a network for porn, violence, and pedophilia is not far. Decentralisation means no policing so no one can be penalised.

Just take heart and try to secure your funds by transferring them out, to a more secure wallet. Centralised exchanges has been very reliable so far.

Your words are very clear! Thanks for the comment! In fact, this vulnerability and freedom make room for complex discussions about how far we are ready to deal with so much "immunity". Even though I've been on Hive for over a year, I ended up being a victim of something like this, and there's no solution for a situation like this. I don't really know how to act about it.
And about taking what I have left of my HP to protect it, that makes sense, but the question is: -Do I want to reset my account and give up this universe? I don't know, it doesn't seem ideal, in the same way I'm very afraid to power down now to be able to withdraw the Hive, because it seems that at any moment that bastard can come out of the shadows and transfer any profit I get, even if I have changed the password and supposedly it's safe... Anyway, for now I think I'll just wait, be patient.

So sorry about this, it is painful I know, I also went through this a month back, I feel something should be done about this people,or bots rather, a strict implementation should be done to stop this kind of theft

Thanks for the comment! And I'm sorry you went through something similar too! The problem is that I don't see much of a solution for this kind of thing, or rather, I hadn't even heard of this kind of event around here. I even wonder if anyone is concerned about taking care of this kind of thing, if there is an industry trying to improve security and account protection, etc...

This is so sad! Sometimes I wonder how they get to do these things without having their conscience blame them for stealing another man's hard earned money. I'm glad he didn't even log you out because many of them log out the real owners and change the keys claiming all the token in that account. Sad this had to happen at a time you most needed the money.

Yes, I was really lucky that he didn't steal my account, but at the same time it made me very suspicious and worried. And yes, that kind of person is cold-blooded and I doubt that even he would care to know about people complaining and regretting being robbed, probably for that kind of person we are just unimportant specks of dust. I would love for him to read this post, so much so that I made a point of quoting him, but I doubt he will, this seems much more like an automatic system, a bot programmed to steal, where for the guy what matters are the numbers and nothing most. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Even if he gets to read the post, I think his wicked mind won't feel guilt because at this point he doesn't even have a conscience anymore. Have a great day

Dear @thomashnblum, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
https://peakd.com/me/proposals/199

Your support would be really helpful and you could make a difference.
Thank you!

If you want to change your keys, I have an online service that does precisely that:

https://hivetasks.com/change-password

After your alert, I'm going to use it now.

By the way, if you have a spare vote, consider me or @perfilbrasil to be among your supported witnesses.

Thank you Fernando.
I already exchanged my keys, but anyway, good to know about this link!
I'm still very afraid of a new invasion, but the hive system seems so insecure now, it could at least have an ip login alert or something... Anyway, thanks for commenting!


Obrigado Fernando.
Eu já troquei minhas chaves, mas de qualquer forma, bom saber desse link!
Ainda estou bastante receoso de uma nova invasão, mas o sistema do hive me parece agora tão inseguro, poderia ao menos ter um alerta de login por ip ou coisa do tipo... Enfim, obrigado por comentar!
