How one of the most common identity thefts on Hive happens.

Hello Hive people, today we decided to bring you the case of @silviared945, a very well-known author on the platform.

Our suspicions obviously arise from the ease with which the user was able to approach the platform, this shows that it was not the first time she tried to use Hive.

Let's get to us, in these two posts you will notice the first discrepancy. In the first she states that she comes from Florence, while in the second she states that she comes from Rome, this even if it may seem little, for those who observe the Hive every day is already an alarm regarding identity theft.

Moving forward the most obvious thing to do was to ask for a verification through the @hivewatchers service, so as to see the possible response of the user.

She responds that social networks are full of hate and that she only participates on Hive.

Obviously I was already aware of the existence of the real profiles of the author Silvia.

Instagram

Facebook

Of course I asked if she was the one controlling the account on Hive, the answer will arrive soon.

I will not share the name of the profiles, here on the platform out of respect for the author, once I have spoken to she they will be published, as they are public

We take this opportunity to thank you for voting on our witness, and to support the work we do for Hive, both in terms of take care for new users and fighting abuse on the platform.

_{We will tag some of the users who send the most votes to the author Silvia, so we can notify them
