Title: Hacked account
Post by: thisissato on November 26, 2016, 09:28:59 PM
Hi, this is an alt account for "likehiro". I have been away of the forum for around one month and yesterday I was trying to loging and it was constantly denied with any password I used here, that was really strange to me. After that, I checked at my profile to check when was it the last time I was online and it was on the same day! That make me look really close everything related with my account and i found that someone has been using it for new altcoins and provably for scams (because I had a long and perfect trust because of my work with my customers in the forum).

Please, I'd love to have that account back to me; I'm able to proof my identity in any way it's necessary, but I want to have it back, and if it's not possible, at least I'd love to have that account blocked to avoid that guy harm my reputation with my customers and also keep safe those persons who could been contacted with my account.

This is my profile:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65269

I have found also that "zinodaur" (an other great designer in the site) has been hacked after some time being inactive, and was active in the same threads where my account was used, so I asume that this wasn't a personal mistake; it was a leak in the seccurity of the forum database, so I'd love it to be solved in any way, because it harms me directly and also my work.

Here it is zinodaur profile for those who want to check too (it seems to be the same person with both accounts):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=91116

Notice that both profiles have the mail changed recently...

Well, if there is any proof I could give to get my account back or at least block it to avoid scams, I'd love to do as much as it's possible to me.

Thanks!

Do you still control this address and can sign a message with it?

Que lastima, me tenía fé :(
Felicidades a marticps!

Mi bitcoin address es:

Grán concurso!



Ill leave a negative rating on zinodaur's account without further proof, because a large number of posts have been edited to only show dots.

If you can sign it then send a message to any / all admins. Theymos usually handles these if I'm not mistaken. You could also try Cyrus though. Sign the message and send them a pm once a week until they're able to got around to it.

Yes! I'm able to do it, I don't use that wallet currently because it was an old version of multibit, but I still have it installed and it's accessible for me :) I've already contacted Theymos with the info, what should I do to "sign" using that address?

Thank you Cyrus, I'll send you a PM with my signed address and that would be enough to have my account back, is it true? Btw, I could also provide documentation and more, because I've used my full name and also had provided links to my portfolio and more in my old threads. Thanks for everything!
