Title: Administration ignoring and erasing request to recover hacked account
Post by: __helloworld__ on January 17, 2016, 07:15:12 PM
I own a VIP account a long time in this forum. I sent a request to Theymos and Badbear signed with my OpenPGP certificate to recover the account. I even post the request in a thread. Someone in the administration did not just decided to ignore the request, he also erased the thread where I did the request.

I donated 50 BTC to this forum and now I am being refused to have access to my VIP account.

What the fuck is going on?

OBS: the two forum users which answered my thread are mexxer-2 and redsn0w, as show by the notification I received:

By the way, here is the signed request:

Code:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I am writing this message to recover my account in the bitcointalk.org forum. The account last user name is augustocroppo. I found the account was blocked due suspicious activity after a long period of inactivity. I am signing this message to demonstrate the account ownership. A link bellow shows a post with a signature from the same OpenPGP certificate:

By the way, here is the signed request:

-snip-
Might've forgotten to mention, considering your account was hacked fairly recently, a signed message(As said in the guidelines for recovering an account) would be better as the PGP client(not really tech-savvy so next statement might be wrong) might've been compromised.
Most account takes at least a week to recover, some even months, some haven't been seen by admins yet since many months. Being a donator(or a VIP for that matter) wouldn't mean you are above the others

Impossible to anyone take over my OpenPGP certificate without the password to sign it. I never shared or stored the password anywhere.

Moreover, this is my third account. The one you originally responded has been banned to post in the forum. The reply you made for that banned account is now erased. Just check out your post history and you will not find your message there.

OK, but then why was not that the response instead to erase my request?

Well, one possibility might be you are the hacker and have used the same password obtained from hacking the augusto account. No offense meant, just stating a possibility.

Can't be sure with the admins, but they sure must have a reason to do so(reminds me of a YT vid where someone thinks the same about gods, anyway OT)
Well you can send a signed message from a staked address if the account does belong to you, can't you?

I do not use the same password for different accounts. My password for the OpenPGP certificate is completely different from any other password I choose for account registration. So the most the hacker could do was login in my Electronic Arts game account, which I already recovered. He also tried to login in my Twitter and Steam account with no success.

The last time I was here was to tell Theymos to fuck off due his incompetence to implement the new forum.

Perhaps he is holding a grudge against me...

I sent you signed messages months ago by PM from my VIP account and from my email account. You already verified my certificate a dozen times. It is not like this is the first time you are checking my OpenPGP certificate.

My VIP account post history is huge, I have to locate another post which I signed a message...

According to the seclog there was no password change or reset.

IIRC, when accounts have been recovered in the past, there have been warnings that the password has been reset recently on the account's trust profile. I would think this would be due to the owner requesting the PW to be reset via email after the email was changed.

Either way, it looks like BadBear locked the account here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1261005.0), so based on the fact that it was posting, the account was recovered.

Guys, have a look at this case. Do you really think admin only give first priority to donators anad VIP members only those who have donated a huge amount of btc to this forum.?

No, I don't think.

If your request is being ignored, then it is obviously not going to be dealt with.  Why don't you set up this new account with a little more "pop" and move on?

Yes, those things are lost, guess you should have been more careful.

Please stop giving stupid advice. All he needs to do is have some patience and wait for the admins to get round to restoring it but as this thread evidences it can take some time.

No one should be helping him.  This is like getting your car stolen and wanting the other people in the parking lot to help you recover it.  It is time for people to be held accountable for their mistakes and have to live with them.  God knows that will never happen on here though, lets hold his hand and help him get ready for his next screw up, which we will bail him out of too.

You're not helping him either by giving him bad advice. I'm sure you've never made a mistake in your life before but regardless  accounts get restored here they just take a while. And a more apt analogy would be having your car stolen and having to wait before you can pick it up from the pound.

Which happens all the time, lol, without the owner complaining left and right.  Also, do not forget that this is because of the user making a mistake, so we can add that the person left their keys in the car and left it running.

It's not OP's fault that he got hacked.  Don't blame the victim, dude.  And you are giving bad advice by telling him to move on.  If he donated 50 fucking bitcoin to the forum--even if it was when btc was cheap--he'll probably get his account back as long as he can prove it's his.

No they aren't handed out, but you can't be so new to the computer world that you are unaware that people exist who make it their business to hack into your shit.  And sometimes people fall victim to that--everyone makes mistakes.  I have no sympathy for people who get scammed because of stupidity combined with greed, but this isn't a case of that.

While it is true that there are people that do this, it is also true that if you are the only one on a particular computer, only one in your accounts, then there has to be some error on your part that gives the hacker the in.  It can be as simple as visiting a website(not often, that takes some skill) or not looking at a link, God forbid you download something, but it always comes back to the end user making some error.
