Everyone should be aware of this!
It happened to my account on Steemit. I was unaware until I powered down for the first time to move to Hive and lost my first power down total to an account that I had never heard of. With help, I was able to determine what was going on and was able to fix it. I have never powered down on Hive, but now I know to check power down routes first.

@melinda010100 but how can someone able to edit the withdraw route of your account?
And if he able to do it why he is not able to do other activities to steal your funds
Like powering down your account or transferring HBD or hive coin to his wallet?
I mean is it possible someone to change or edit withdraw routes without having access to your account?
No. Not possible. I had my account phished shortly after I joined, before we had all the safe guards we have now. I regained control of my account, but had no knowledge of withdraw routes and didn't realize they had set one up. Anyone who has ever had their account compromised needs to be aware!
Thanks I understand the point
But @doze said after checking your account on https://hiveblocks.com/@zaibkang
Anyone should be get alert if withdraw routes is not zero
Mine is not zero also its one, but there is not any account to remove when I checked on ecency.com, I have only my own account @zaibkang with 100% power down receiveing option
If so you don't have to worry about, just make sure that account is yours, exactly with same letters at same place. Anyway you don't need to have withdraw routes activated to be able to Powerdown
That's it! 💪
