Some time ago, @anasz, a steemian from Aceh vent me about his account that can’t be opened anymore. He's tried to login multiple times and failed. He didn’t expect that his @anasz account (reputation: 70) had been hacked by someone else, or it could be said that the master password (active key) was reseted by someone that he didn’t know.
To my knowledge, steemit can’t be hacked, unless someone already has a password master (active key) that can be used to generate a new passwords. In fact, anasz himself has tried the recovery menu provided by steemit, but that way has not worked until now.
The incident (anasz couldn’t access his account) happened two days ago. When he wants to log into his account as usual, but can not. He looked very worried, moreover when he read the history on his wallet, there was a withdrawal message that he did not do. And it is expected to be done by others. Now the account hijacker has stolen his money.
Until now, there have been twice transactions (withdrawal) his steem into poloniex exchange and blocktrades. And we don’t know yet, who is the mastermind behind this incident. I really hope the help from my steemian friends. What he must do to get the account back as it was.
