RE: I'm GRATEFUL for the HIVE community! You are all amazing! Thank you so much.

I remember ceremoniously placing the keys on a usb stick. But I was pretty ignorant and reckless back in 17/18. I think what caused this disaster was not changing my keys on HIVE from back in the steemit days - and some website requested my steemit "password" and like a dummy, I probably put it in. The thief liquidated my old STEEM account first, probably logged into HIVE just for kicks to see if it would work.
