Hive Theft Alert: I just got robbed. [Eng+Spa] Alerta de Robo en Hive: Me acaban de robar.
Today I made a mistake that is costing me dearly. I have a slow head due to recent illnesses, and through carelessness I fell into a scam in which I gave my Active Key from my Hive account to another user.
Now, it transferred all the liquidity I had in my account, both in HBD and Hive.
I'm figuring out how to change the password so I don't lose everything, but I don't know the process well, and the little I've been reading makes me fear that because of my mistake I may lose everything I've worked on in recent years.
I am going to explain how it happened, but I warn you that you should NOT do these steps or your account will be stolen by these criminals. It all started with a comment message that was made to me on my previous post.

Hoy he cometido un error que me está costando caro. Tengo la cabeza lenta por malestares recientes, y por descuido caí en un engaño en el que le dí mi Clave Activa de mi cuenta en Hive a otro usuario.
Ahora, transfirió todo lo que tenía de liquidez en mi cuenta, tanto en HBD como en Hive.
Estoy averiguando como hacer para cambiar la clave para no perder todo, pero no sé bien el proceso, y lo poco que llevo leyendo me hace temer que debido a mi error puede que pierda todo lo que he trabajado en los últimos años.
Voy a explicar cómo sucedió, pero doy alerta que NO deben hacer estos pasos o su cuenta será robada por estos criminales. Todo comenzó con un mensaje de comentario que me hicieron en mi anterior post.

It had a link to a supposed hive blockchain loyalty reward site:
+++*+++
+++*+++
Tenía un enlace a un supuesto sitio de recompensa por lealtad a la blockchain de hive:

The sender was a relatively recent account: @hive-airdrop. It didn't occur to me to review it before, and now I regret it:
+++*+++
+++*+++
El remitente era una cuenta relativamente reciente: @hive-airdrop. No se me ocurrió revisarla antes, y ahora lo lamento:

The link led to a site that looked correct, but it is now (after the disaster) that I noticed that the address in the address bar was not correct.
+++*+++
+++*+++
El enlace llevaba a un sitio que se veía correcto, pero es ahora (ya luego del desastre) que noté que la dirección en la barra de direcciones no era correcta.

When claiming the supposed reward, your account information was requested, that's when I should have woken up and run...
+++*+++
+++*+++
Al reclamar la supuesta recompensa se solicitaban datos de tu cuenta, allí debería haberme despertado y correr…

After ruining things with my mistake of giving the Active Key, I realize that a transfer was made from my wallet. A transfer that I have not made. @der.prophet account stole from me both HBD and what I had of liquid Hive using my active key for transfers.
+++*+++
+++*+++
Luego de arruinar las cosas con mi error de dar la Clave Activa, es que me doy cuenta que se realizó una transferencia desde mi billetera. Una transferencia que yo no he realizado. La cuenta de @der.prophet me robó tanto en HBD como en lo que tenía de Hive líquido usando mi clave activa para las transferencias.

Upon discovering it, I started looking for help, and reviewed that user's account data. I found out that I'm not the only one he's robbed:
+++*+++
+++*+++
Al descubrirlo, empecé a buscar ayuda, y revisé los datos de la cuenta de ese usuario. Me encontré que no soy el único al que ha robado:


So, in addition to stealing from me, he has also stolen the accounts of: @marsdave and @osismi.
There is a transfer from January that is also suspicious, it is from the @dailyspam account to the account of the thief @der.prophet. But I don't know if it is also a theft of funds or if that January account is part of the thieves' network.
Now, I'm crying, my head is bursting, with discomfort that adds to my poor health condition... And desperately searching for a way to save things and not lose everything.
Please spread the word, and if you know what I can do leave a comment.

Entonces, además de robarme a mí, también ha robado las cuentas de: @marsdave y @osismi.
Hay una transferencia de enero que también es sospechosa, es desde la cuenta de @dailyspam hacia la cuenta del ladrón @der.prophet. Pero no sé si también es un robo de fondos o es que esa cuenta de enero es parte de la red de ladrones.
Ahora, estoy que lloro, con la cabeza a reventar, con un malestar que se suma a mi mala condición de salud… Y buscando desesperado como salvar las cosas y no perder todo.
Por favor pasa la voz, y si sabes que puedo hacer deja un comentario.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ ALERT ⚠️⚠️⚠️
HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.
cambia las claves aquí con la master o con la owner https://wallet.hive.blog
Ya leí todo, primero te respondí rápido para que cambies tus claves, pero tranquilo que tu cuenta estará a salvo. Ese dinero se recupera. Tienes lo más importante y lo mayor.
Lo que veo es no hizo power down ni retiró de HBD ahorros, así que tal parece que ni gastará energía en eso, porque no tiene la clave maestra y no te puede quitar la cuenta.
Lo otro es que cambies tu cuenta de recuperación. La tienes con steem

Te dejo un tutorial. Hazlo a una cuenta de confianza, sobretodo que sepas que estará activa en Hive, disponible en una emergencia y que no perderá sus claves. (No tendrá acceso a tu cuenta tranquilo) se necesitan las dos cuentas para recuperar y tendría 30 días para recuperar.

Gracias por todo.
Con esto del robo y el hecho de que ya venía enfermo, caí como en un estado depresivo paralizante, así que no he hecho nada de lo debería haber hecho, hoy es que mi hermano me sacudió y me sentó para que me pusiera a trabajar y dejara la depresión, que con pura tristeza no voy a resolver nada y necesito arreglar todo para que no me siguán robando.
Que buen hermano tienes, se ve que te quiere, hazle caso. Tranquilo, todo va a estar bien 🙏
Gracias, luego de revisar y leer, todo el problema se resolvió más rápido de lo que yo creía.
Y ciertamente que es un buen hermano, me tiene una paciencia que asombra. 😅
Voy a intentar eso.
Gracias por comentar.
That person needs to be stopped; they've already been harming many accounts.
Is Ecency your recovery account?
Go to Ecency.com

We can help
Adding to my mistakes is that I have never changed the recovery account since we were on the steem blockchain, so not having fixed that takes its toll on me now.
Oh no. I don't think there is anything that can be done. Steem will not help.
Have you been able to change your keys? It appears that the thief has not yet changed them. If you have your keys, all is not lost yet,
Thank you. I'm coming out of my state of "mental shutdown" (a mix of nervous depression, sadness and having been sick) and today I sit down to work on fixing things.
I know that I spent too much time, but I had no idea at all, having your mind in "low energy" is not good at all.
They already told me that what the thief has is my active password, so as long as he does not have my owner password, the account does not need to use the recovery account.
It's my turn to change my passwords so that the thief no longer has access to my wallet.
Get it fixed! We need and miss you here! ❤️
Thank you, it is nice for me to feel that you miss me.
Don't worry, having a Steem account isn't costing you anything in this case. That's for when someone steals your account by changing your passwords. There was no password change here, so you still have control of your account.
Let's hope you never need to use your recovery account.
Thanks, in any case I should follow the tutorial to change the recovery account, just in case I need it in the future.

Saludos. Lamento esa perdida amigo, pero hay solución, por lo.menos tienes tu cuenta aún. Haz lo que te dice Danielvehe en su comentario. Es la única forma en que no sigas perdiendo dinero. Cambia tus claves como allí se te indica.
Ánimo
Gracias por el ánimo.
Estuve enfermo y caí además en un estado depresivo, hoy es que me sacudió mi hermano y me sentó para que trabaje en arreglar este desastre.
Voy a revisar el tutorial que me compartió danielvehe y procuraré cambiar la clave activa para que el ladrón ya no me pueda robar más.
Hermano, si usted conserva la clave propietario en el wallet de HIVE.BLOG, usted puede generar nuevamente TODAS las claves.
OJO, solo si su clave propietario no ha sido modificada. A mí me pasó hace un par de años y desde entonces, anualmente, cambio todas mis claves.
Ahora, si no dispone de de la clave de propietario, tendrá que asignar una cuenta nueva de recuperación y seguir los pasos indicados que le han suministrado otros compañeros.
Un abrazo lleno de bendiciones y espero que pronto solucione.
Gracias por el comentario.
Si tengo la clave propietaria y el estafador no la obtuvo, así que creo que tu consejo de generar nuevas claves es la mejor solución para mi.
Disculpa lo tardío de la respuesta, estuve en una mezcla de enfermedad y estado depresivo que me dejó tirado en estos días, así que hoy es que me he puesto a trabajar en resolver este lío.
So sorry about this, and of a truth, I did got scammed too. I even made a post about it here just the other day, just so to warn the public.
But then, it is well. Sorry about your illness too. I hope you get better soon.
Now, the only thing that can be done is for you to change your keys, if you make use of peakd, just click on the three dots beside your profile settings, it will bring options, click on keys and permissions and then change password. You will need your owner/master key to do that, and all your keys will be changed. Then you can save them in a more safer place, relogin and continue.
@pedrobrito2004
Thank you.
I'm coming out of my state of "mental shutdown" (a mix of nervous depression, sadness and having been sick) and today I sit down to work on fixing things.
I didn't know it could be done by Peakd, I'll try that if what I'm doing doesn't work.
This is so serious, I almost fall a victim two days ago. When I was following the steps they send me, at the point they ask for my active key something tells me that I need to be careful so I pause, check to see other people's comments but noticed there is no single comment, then I knew it is a scam, so I ran.
This is so painful couple with your poor health condition. When I change my keys sometimes ago I used PeakD front-end which it explains better with the guidance @flaxz gave me. You can try it and follow up with the guides.
So sorry about the situation, be calm and handle it gradually. Have a great weekend.

Thank you.
Today my brother shook me and I am coming out of my state of "mental shutdown" (a mixture of nervous depression, sadness and having been sick) and I have sat down to work on fixing things.
They also told me that I could solve it with the Peakd frontend, I'll try that if what I'm doing doesn't work.
You are welcome

What a human trash!! I hope some justice can be made as this is not okay
Thank you.
I wish just the same. I do not wish on anyone the harm that this person has done to me.
Lo siento mucho en verdad, después de tanto aportar y trabajar escribiendo da mucha rabia que te lo roben así. Gracias por avisar para estar atentos. Un abrazo y que recuperes todo.
Gracias Sacra.
Yo ya estaba enfermo, y con esto sumado, caí en un estado de tristeza y de impotencia que me dejó como que en nivel de depresión.
Hoy fue que mi hermano me terminó de sacudir para que me pusiera a trabajar en arreglar este desastre para cambiar las claves y que el ladrón no tenga ya acceso a mi billetera.
I saw it, I think, a week ago. However, I observe that the message is like spam sent to hundreds of accounts.
Thank you. I assume the scammer sent this message to as many people as he could, so he could steal as much as possible before his scam was noticed.
this is serious I did misplaced my keys one time ago in ecency waves I had copied it and didn't realise it was still the last item on my clipboard, pasted it without preview in seconds I couldn't edit it I tried login in with different keys didn't work immediately I reached out to ecency and thankGod @melinda010100 responded and helped me change the keys, please we all need to be careful hive is not doing anything like air drops or loyalty programs ...hive is purely decentralized no body is running any such thing here please these scams is becoming too much to bare let's be careful
I believe changes were made to prevent us from being able to post our keys accidentally in comments.
You were not alone. I think that used to happen much to frequently.
please ma'am let me also bring to your noticed before now using ecency wasn't an issue ....but since the upgrade I still need to copy my keys up and down. .
if I want to do any transaction or claim rewards I need to copy my active key with that I can't comment or make any post at all which I must go out to copy my posting key again, I just did that in order for this comment to go through if not the feedback will be "ecency doesn't have the authority to do whatever i action i need at that point" ...
@ecency is just my favorite front-end i use often but this recent changes is making that experience difficult
I am logged into Ecency with my active key. It is necessary to do any financial transaction on Hive.
You can put your active key into Hivesigner or Keychain and that should work too.
sorry but if logged in with your active key can you do posting and commenting as well?
Yes. If that doesn't work the way you expect we can ask @ecency for help.
thankyou very much ma'am
I uploaded my keys to Hive Keychan and it works well for me to authorize my activities within the platform.
Good! I'm glad you are back! We can't let the thiefs win.
Wow!
This problem has not been presented to me, but it is good that you share it, so that the Ecency team can review it and work on solving it.
I didn't know that this happened frequently, but it is true that if a preventive measure is implemented it can help a lot to avoid this misfortune.
Hivewatchers is downvoting a scammer that stole my icon picture and is using my username with one extra zero in it. We all have to watch out for scammers.
Identity theft is very annoying, damages the reputation of the real account, and deceives potential victims who are careless.
Thanks for sharing the experience.
It was good that you got effective help and were able to resolve everything.
In previous comments @melinda010100 has advised me what to do, so as soon as I read and respond to the remaining comments, I will work on changing my account passwords.
Luckily the thief doesn't have my owner key, so changing my keys shouldn't be too difficult for me.
Tremendo!!!
Recibe mi solidaridad Pedrito.
Lamento muchísimo esta situación.
Ojalá puedas recuperar todo.
Son tiempos de muchas estafas. Incluso donde menos se espera. Los delincuentes cambian el móvil constantemente. Hay que estar alertas.
Su publicación es una gran enseñanza.
Le abrazo.
Gracias por el abrazo. Me viene bien con lo deprimido que quedé, al sumar los coletazos de enfermedad, y la impotencia que me generó todo esto, quedé como paralizado en un estado de depresión.
Hoy es que mi hermano me terminó de sacudir de obligarme a que me siente a resolver todo esto.
Por los consejos en comentarios anteriores, creo que la solución no es tan complicada, aunque si es un procedimiento que hay que hacer con cuidado porque no se recupera si cometo algún error estúpido, o si se me cae el servicio eléctrico en medio de las operaciones de recuperación.

Y salieron las cosas bien, me alegro de que fuera más sencillo de lo que yo creía.
Excelentes noticias!!! 🥇
En verdad, lamento que estés pasando por esto...lo más difícil son las horas de trabajo y tiempo invertido, que se van en un momento.
Me es difícil leer este tipo de sucesos, que todavía pasan en Web3...
Espero logres recuperar todo.
Muchas gracias por comentar.
En verdad que yo venía de estar enfermo, y la impotencia que me dejó este evento me sumió en una depresión paralizante, hoy es que mi hermano me logró sacudir para que me pusiera a trabajar en resolver las cosas.
Por lo que leo en los comentarios anteriores que me dan indicaciones, puede que la solución sea más sencilla de lo que yo pensaba, pero antes de hacer nada voy a sentarme a revisar mejor los tutoriales, luego de que termine de responder a los amables comentarios que me hicieron y no he revisado hasta hoy.
Do you still have your password or owner key?
If so, reach out, I can help you change keys. I don't need to know any key from you. I will just show you the process and you can then change the keys yourself. Don't give private keys to ANYONE ever!
Your account is not lost, but you need to react soon. Unsure who is @soltecno, but the recovery account has been requested to change to this. You have 30 days until this becomes permanent.
Thanks for the response.
I do have my owner's key, and my stupidity did not reach the point of giving it to the thief (thank goodness).
I appreciate the offer of help and guidance, I'm going to try to reset the keys from the classic HiveBlog wallet, if it doesn't work (or I can't understand how to do it), I'll try it from the PeakD frontend... And if my clumsiness doesn't allow me to do it here either, then I'm going to have to bother you to ask for guidance.
The soltecno account belongs to my brother, and I was trying to change it in case it was necessary for the future-
👍
Everything's sorted now, and it turned out to be much easier than I thought.
Thanks for everything.
Great!

Que mala noticia, espero que si logres la solucion entre las opciones que veo te estan dando, y bueno no se sienta mal esa gente sabe lo que hace y caer en esas trampas es mas común de lo que parece... 🍀💚
Gracias por el apoyo moral.
Espero solucionar esto reseteando las claves. Ciertamente que estos ladrones saben como hacer sus delitos, pero me duele caer, además de que me siento tonto por caer en algo como esto luego de tener años caminando en esto de las blockchains.
En fin, cualquiera puede meter la pata, el asunto ahora es sacar esa pata del hueco y seguir adelante.
Asi es.. adelante que es pa alla.. como decimos por aqui!!!
I was checking @der-prophet's account for transactions, because I follow him.
...but it is @der.prophet
Danke für deine erwähnung. Ist sehr ärgerlich das mein Account kopiert wurde um meinen Ruf zu schädigen
Danke für deinen Kommentar.
Es ist unangenehm, dass Ihr Konto zum Betrug kopiert wurde, das schadet auch Ihnen.
Thanks for commenting.
I didn't know they had copied to an existing account.
It's really sad that someone stole from you. And it's very annoying for me that someone copied my account and other Hivians are angry with me. Please see if you can find your master key so you can create new passwords on Peakd. It's not very complicated, so please do it as soon as possible.
Thanks for commenting.
These scammers knew how to set things up.
I'm going to make the changes in a while so I can reset my passwords.
Thanks for the solidarity and commenting.
It's disgusting that you got caught up in this because scammers copied your avatar and part of your account name.
Que dolor @pedrobrito2004 lamento muchísimo que estés pasando por esta situación. Como aconsejan los amigos, lo mas urgente ahora es cambiar las claves por unas nuevas, espero ya lo hayas logrado y te encuentres hoy mas tranquilo y tu cuenta mas segura.
Lamento mucho la pérdida de tus token, ningún usuario se merece eso 🥺 gracias por compartir tu caso y advertir a la comunidad. En la antigua cadena recuerdo que los intentos de pishing eran frecuentes y re peligrosos, no espere ver esto regresar en pleno 2026 💔
Gracias por comentar. De verdad que me dolieron las perdidas.
Estos estafadores supieron como montar las cosas. Y me molesté un poco conmigo mismo por caer en un truco tan viejo (y tan estúpido).
Me estoy poniendo dentro de un rato a hacer los cambios para poder resetear mis claves.
