Title: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure. Have 'we' talked in past week? Post by: elianite on December 21, 2016, 07:52:14 PM My account has been accessed by an unauthorized party.
This unauthorized party has committed fraud by communicating with other forum members posing as me through this account, and fraudulently taken payment into a BTC address that I do not control. I have successfully changed my password. I have all reasons to believe that my account is now secure and fully under my control. I do not know how this happened. All data contained within my Forum account is possibly in the wrong hands. The important part: If we have had any PM exchange over the past week (since Dec. 14th), copy and paste the entire conversation back to me! If any Admin's are able to assist (retrieve deleted messages, IP addresses, log-in history) or if anyone is good at tracing the blockchain, please contact me. I intend to take all reasonable measures to track down the culprit. My email address is info@coinfirm.org If you are the individual responsible, please contact me anonymously.

This is bitguy2016, have been communicating with bithalo on this matter right now Title: Re: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure. Have 'we' talked in past week? Post by: bithalo on December 21, 2016, 08:31:52 PM I received an email from Elias now holding a sign addressed to me. It seems to corroborate that the person posting is the true Elianite.
Not sure if that is considered proof but just wanted to say this. Title: Re: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure. Have 'we' talked in past week? Post by: elianite on December 21, 2016, 08:34:52 PM Who cc'd who? This is bitguy2016, have been communicating with bithalo on this matter right now Sent you a PM. There is a specific message that came from this account, that was not written by me. Also, DO NOT sent BTC to me for any reason at this time. Lets let the dust settle and be 100% sure the account is not accessible by the hacker. If you want to be 100% that you are talking to me, send me an email^^ Title: Re: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure. Have 'we' talked in past week?

I hope you are going to do the right thing and reimburse the party who sent bitcoin to the hacker.I received an email from Elias now holding a sign addressed to me. It seems to corroborate that the person posting is the true Elianite. You are certain the email was in fact from him, correct? If his account was hacked, then it may be reasonable to say that his email was hacked also. Is the person in the picture someone that you have previously known to be elianite?Not sure if that is considered proof but just wanted to say this.

I will make things right with both of these individuals. I cant yet comment on cases I don't yet know of. Howard knows what I look like. Ill provide more proof as needed.

Post by: bithalo on December 21, 2016, 08:52:15 PM Yes I know what Elianite looks like and can confirm that this person sent me a email now holding a handwritten sign that was addressed to me and dated.
Again I would suggest that Elias sign his message as I believe that is considered more proof than just my statement. I would also urge people to cease payments for the time being.

If there are only two scam victims, this is not a catastrophe. I'll wait for the dust to settle. In the meantime, can this PLEASE be moved back to 'Collectibles'; its where it needs to be seen! I am going to sleep shortly, and will not be readily reachable for much of tomorrow. Please PM or email me any info you have. Title: Re: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure.

Title: Re: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure. Have 'we' talked in past week? Post by: elianite on December 24, 2016, 08:12:44 AM The dust has settled, and I dont believe that there are beyond three scam occurrences.
To the three individuals I have spoken to who paid to the fraudulent addresses: rest assured that I will honor 100% of the payments. I am fully taking the hit for these cases. What happened was that the hacker read my outbox, copied my writing style, and sent messages to three people whom I had previously sent payment addresses to. These messages stated that the address was incorrect, and to instead send to an updated address (which the hacker controlled). They then deleted all outgoing and incoming messages, so I was none the wiser. Losses stand at several bitcoins. Title: Re: ATTENTION: Ive been HACKED Account is now secure.
