This comment looks like free money. For one hive user, a single click wiped out everything. They saw a comment promising a free air drop. Limited time. First come, first served. A big button saying, claim your hive now. They clicked. Minutes later, every token was gone. Their delegations to communities were canceled. The account keys were changed by the attacker. They tried to log back in. They couldn't. The account was no longer theirs. The pattern is always the same. 1. A bait comment promising free rewards. 2. A link to a fake page that asks for your keys. 3. Your keys are stolen and your wallet is drained. On a blockchain, there is no undo button. No refunds, no customer support to call. Learn the red flags. A random account offering an airdrop in the comments? Be suspicious. Countdown pressure like, hurry before it runs out? That's manipulation. A link asking for your keys? Never. Stay safe. Use Hive Keychain or Hive-Oth and never type your keys into a website. For everyday use, rely on your posting key. Keep your owner and active keys offline. So do this today. Are you using keychain? Are your keys stored safely? If not, fix it now. And if you see a comment like this, don't click it. reported and warn your friends. One careless click can cost you everything.
