🚨 EMERGENCY ALERT 🚨
bitstoday.medium.com/f78fd54063ec
Last week, 30+ BitClout accounts were compromised and ~$30,000 in funds were misappropriated. The manner in which a bad actor was able to compromise these accounts has now been *fully identified*.
The executable versions of the applications @cloutspy and @bitwatcher both include malware that can extract your seed phrase, allowing their developer to access your BitClout account. If you use these applications and / or still have them on your computer, stop using them and delete them *immediately*.
For FULL DETAILS and important next steps on how to secure your account if compromised, please read the special edition in full. A @BitCloutPulse stage with additional information and discussion will also be live soon: discord.gg/bitclout
Myriad thanks to @tijn, @dgsus, @smartalec, @automatic, @BitCloutPulse, @HunterPaulson, and @PaulBurke for spearheading this investigation.

Unfortunately it Looks as though the article has been taken down from Medium for "violation of rules."
We are looking into this further but for now you can read it at this link:
