Title: Mods: Help... my forum account has been hacked
Post by: rpgpgmr on May 09, 2013, 03:55:45 AM
I had previously had an account under wmikrut -- and admittedly the password was weak.
I cannot log in, and the recover email address password is not working (presumably someone changed the email address).

I scanned the forums and it seems someone logged on as me and initiated a transaction with a user then scammed them.
I was not that person who initiated this transaction and stole BTC from 2 members here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197760.0

I will certainly reimburse the users if the account can be restored to my possession.  

Please allow me to PM and will send you the original email address on that profile.
Also, I am the only one in possession of the Bit message address on the profile (BM-onDXjoGWuUpVqsuvVt7X2Nq8bEhn71FrT)

I see the wmikrut account is tagged with a scammer tag.
Good... at least it will keep people from doing business with whomever has my account atm.

The person holding my account has cost me 6.308 BTC.. in addition to the funds he stole from users in the forum.

PLEASE make sure your passwords are secure, and that you change them regularly.
DO NOT use the same password for multiple sites.  Thankfully, I do not do that.

That stinks that your forum account has been hacked but at least you are doing a good thing by reimbursing forum members for the money which they lost, I don't want to seem mean but I personally would not have given my own money to attempt to do that, I would have just created a new account and focused on that one. O'well way to be a good person and bump :)

Classy move reimbursing the victims.


Title: Re: Mods: Help... my forum account has been hacked
Post by: rpgpgmr on May 09, 2013, 06:14:28 PM
Not so much classy as I felt it was the right thing to do.
I should have had a stronger password -- a mistake that will not happen again.

I value my reputation -- and respect the people I have spoken with, and have done legitimate business with, here.
I am waiting for a response from the Admin.


Title: Re: Mods: Help... my forum account has been hacked

Wow, that is really terrible.

For your sake in the future and others, please take a good long read at this.

Stay Safe.

Did your account get compromised due to that recent phishing?

I can't say for sure... i know (at least i think) i hadn't entered my password in a while... its remembered on the site.  The original password was weak... so i figured someone brute forced it.

Honestly, i don't know how it was obtained.
I do not share my passwords with anyone else.

Thank you to everyone who gave me a hand.. and a special thank you to theymos for helping me recover my account!
I have a very strong password on my account now and a 'crack' will not happen again.

Post by: wmikrut on May 11, 2013, 03:41:27 AM
And finally I have reimbursed kooke for the 1.5 BTC stolen:

Let that be a lesson to me... it cost me 7.808 BTC to learn I need a strong password here.
Don't learn that lesson the way I did... it can be expensive to clean up the mess that's created.
