User @karenb54 had been spamming links to a "Hive airdrop" in comments. This is a scam. Do not click. Do not enter your keys. No one needs your private keys to send you anything, just your user name. There are no limited-time airdrops, and scammers love to use high-pressure tactics to give a sense of urgency while appealing to greed or fear in order to get you to do something stupid. Always be alert!
If you did enter your keys, I hope it wasn't your Owner Key, because now you need to update all of your other keys. The real website to do that is wallet.hive.blog. You will need your Owner Key to change the rest, and then you will need to write down and save your new keys securely so you can log into your account again with safe credentials.
UPDATE: I burned all my downvote power and half of my upvote power earlier today in downvoting the comments I could find, and risked being a spammer myself by replying with a warning to every comment the spammer wrote. Unfortunately, at least one person fell for it before I found out what was going on and started my campaign. Your private keys are everything in account security. Guard them like you would guard your house key.
Another tip: keep your tokens staked or in savings to protect them from immediate theft should your keys be compromised. Liquid HIVE/HBD will be taken immediately. Savings take 3 days to unlock, and staked HIVE releases at most 1/13th of your holdings after 7 days. This gives you time to secure your account, even if you can't remember right away where you stored that pesky Owner Key note. If you don't need it to be liquid, don't keep it liquid.

If you're not on Hive yet, I invite you to join through InLeo or PeakD. If you use either of my referral links, I'll even try to delegate some Hive Power to help you get started.
