THIS IS MY ACCOUNT WHICH WAS HACKED. HERE'S THE PROOF, MY EMAIL AND THIS ACCOUNT AND ALL WERE HACKED... I AM QUOTING A MESSAGE HERE THAT I SENT TO THEYMOS, QUICKSELLER, BADBEAR. !!!

Sir, my original account "grtthegreat" has been hacked and also a loan request has been posted requesting to lend out money, also my email id was hacked. Here's the proof of my gmail account "microman497@gmail.com" being misused: http://s11.postimg.org/qylz1jjtv/Capture.jpg Please let me know how I can recover the account and also I request the moderators to delete the loan request because my account has been hacked. Title: Re: grtthegreat - .25 btc loan Post by: jambola2 on July 13, 2015, 09:00:49 AM Can you sign with any past address?
Would be a lot more solid than any gmail history. You had a loan thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=742699.0 Can you sign with any of the repayment addresses written by you in any unedited post? Or any other one you can bring forward. (or was your wallet in some way recoverable by your mail?) Title: Re: grtthegreat - .25 btc loan Post by: ajrah on July 13, 2015, 09:15:14 AM Today at 03:49:11 AM - grtthegreat - password changed
A bit strange , this loan has been posted 2 hours before password changed. @grtthegreat1 : when the last time you logged in to your account?

Title: Re: grtthegreat - .25 btc loan Post by: wadili89 on July 13, 2015, 11:02:02 AM recently password change looks suspecious and the btc address he is asking long in is also new and not used before it also looks suspecious @grtthegreat1 if it is your account then open a thread is scam section of the forum so mods and admins can see it and give him nagitive trust so no one can deal with him any kind of

Title: Re: grtthegreat - .25 btc loan Post by: grtthegreat1 on July 13, 2015, 01:27:08 PM You should actually use a new address every time you receive Bitcoin and never reuse an address.

I was pointing out that it is actually a bad habit to ever reuse an address.
I verified the signed message that you had PM'ed me and it looks like it is the address from your lending thread. Title: Re: grtthegreat - .25 btc loan Post by: amacar1 on July 13, 2015, 01:52:24 PM Check in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1120107.msg11812111;boardseen#new

The password he (BTCBLOGGER) sent didn't work for the first time, but then he sent the correct password, and it worked fine. Now, I am here to tell everyone that, the account is completely back under my control.
At the end, I would like to thank each and everyone who pursued the hack, and allowed me to recover my account when no admin helped me out (yes, I mean it, because I received no email from the admins even after so much of request). I am signing the message here: Code: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- And my PGP sign here with the same message: Code: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Thanks everyone again.

Title: Re: [CLOSED] grtthegreat - .25 btc loan Post by: Mr Crabs on July 15, 2015, 02:06:23 PM Wait,I'm confused here. If BTCBLOGGER had control of the account and did so to 'protect it' doesn't that mean he made this scammy loan request? I doubt the account was hacked, then BTCBLOGGER regained it because the hacker didn't change the pass again. Can someone clarify here?

It seems the scammer who made this request took control of the account but didn't change the password.

I doubt the account was hacked, then BTCBLOGGER regained it because the hacker didn't change the pass again. Can someone clarify here? From what I'm assuming happened was that the hacker who took the passwords from the cloudminr.io leak, used the account to post the loan request, and perhaps didn't change the password, then BTCBLOGGER logged in and changed the password and protected it. It is also possible that the hacker who posted the request was BTCBLOGGER himself, and then later on he might have changed the password. But I personally don't think, he would have done this because he was the one who protected the account and later on helped me to regain the control. Although, I am not into blaming anyone for this mishap but what I stated above are all just possibilities, no one would actually ever be able to know what actually happened.

To make out like he's the good guy when he's not. He's the exact opposite and he's done this sort of stuff before. He was pretending to be the good guy by trying to get a user to return funds he stole but what he didn't mention was he was trying to extort and blackmail that scammer himself in private using the personal info he had on him and the threat of going to the police with it. That sound like an alturistic act to you?

So he can be seen as a good guy doing good and not a scammer. This is what he has done several times. Why did he make out like he was trying to do a good thing in getting a scammer to return the money? So he can look good. But what he was doing behind the scenes was trying to extort and blackmail that person to send him money or he was going to go to the police. That's not an act of altruism. It was opportunistic attempt to extort money out of someone. The loan was just likely so everyone knew the account was hacked. He desperately wants his feedback removed and to look like the good guy so what better way to 'ethically' hack the account then give it back? How trustworthy of him! I don't buy it. I really don't want to take his name but all the things that happened in this case are pointing finger on one person. I really don't want to take his name. What the hell are you talking about?

List of 1k people is showed by cloudminr.io to prove that they are selling real database in which my name is in the first 50 people and grtthegreat is one of them.That day when i opened my PC i found that my BTC-E account is hacked and there is activity on other accounts too. https://i.imgur.com/SuWdwsN.jpg Then when i was looking @ my details i found there is many forum member name so i decided to protect them. First account in which i got a successful login was grtthegreat which is mentioned by me in my thread. When i am changing password i saw there is a message it was from magic8ball asking for signed message so i referred him to the thread. But still i don't have any proof to prove that i'm innocence and the culprit is outside the cage.

Anyone including the original owner can then just re log in but that person who did just happens to be btcblogger? Well whoever took control of OP's account didn't change the password before posting this thread as shown on the seclog (https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php) so OP or anyone with access to the DB could have re-taken it. The password was changed only once, after the thread was created. The fact it wasn't changed before is definitely strange, it could be to reduce the chance of someone asking for a signed message. People still did and so the password was changed. This could mean BTCBLOGGER is guilty (I'm going towards this option more after re-reading everything and considering the new things he wrote today which don't have much sense) but not necessarily. We'll never know as I said. But the most important thing here is that it doesn't really matter whether it was him. We already know he -and his alt(s)- should not be trusted. Even if he's not guilty here he shouldn't be trusted as he's shown several times before. |
