Yesterday a new spam network was started, I have my suspicions on who it maybe and digging through some log files to confirm.
They have been creating accounts that look like existing users and setting their metadata to look like the original user. They then steal posts from that user and repost them. If you follow new, it may be difficult to detect these posts at a casual glance unless you goto their profile directly and do some research.
Some of them have even received large votes from to the tune of around $15. No worries though, these rewards will all be removed before payout.
I have identified over 300 accounts in this network and have have been additional ones created that haven't activated yet. It appears this will be an ongoing problem as they attempt to attack Hive in various ways.
If you notice your post has been stolen, it is most likely one of these new accounts.
If you follow created a lot, double check you are voting on the original author and not one of these fraudulent clones.
