Has My Hive Account Been Compromised?
This morning, I noticed that my account data had changed overnight. Some of the data are correct, but others are suspiciously different to what I was expecting.
The following are correct:
- Joined
- Last active
- Vote value
- Voting mana
However, I am concerned by:
- Downvote mana (86%)
- Resource credits (88.02%)
I have never done a downvote all the time I have been on HIVE. I checked my recent interactions and could't find any errors.
I haven't published any posts over the past few days.
- Do you think my account has been compromised?
- If so, what can I do about it and how can I find out how it happened?
- If not, why did these changes happen?
- Has anything like this happened to you?
Some additional information
Just before I noticed these inconsistencies, I stopped a 'Power down' of my HP. Do you think this has anything to do with it?
There is no visible difference in the 'Outgoing' pie chart when downvotes are excluded.
Two days ago (1 January), a delegated prize of 500 HP expired.
Update
This morning (4 January), my data was back to what I was expecting.
