Title: My account was hacked - I got it back.
Post by: sinisuba on July 14, 2016, 09:34:49 PM
So I haven't logged in a while on here, and basically my password seems to have been included in a dump somewhere, since some of my other accounts with the same password that I used here - were hacked.

The hacker claimed that this account was sold to him or something similar... I never sold this account to anyone.

I got them all back, including this one.
How would I go about messaging people to remove the negative reputation that was left on my profile while I was hacked?
I can prove that I'm the real owner since I've staked my address way back in 2015, if I recall correctly (1Bd6Kx2emUPME5UGeqJa9MnZvUvbm11V2K).

Thanks!

I suggest you to move this thread in the meta board, left corner at the bottom of this page (move topic).

Regarding your problem, send a PM to all the users and ask them nicely to remove the negative trust.

signed message proves you are owner but is there a way to confirm that your account was hacked and it wasn't you who used this account

this is going to be your hardest step. You can easily message evryone and tell them that youve got your account back and show them your signed message but its up to them to decide if they think they should remove the feedback or not. Im afraid you might have difficulty with it innocent or not.

Would be easier if OP just stay silent.  There's no need to prove your innocence when you've done nothing wrong.  Announcing it will just make people suspicious (see above).

Anyway, since the message have been verified I think you can lock the topic now.
