Just received a message from the vTorrent dev. He asked for help to reclaim his account.

If possible please also help to contact Bitcointalk.org to restore 'vtorrent' official account, by relink the email address back to 'vtorrent.crypto@gmail.com' from whomever hack the account.

What should he do to recover his account?

Send one PM to either theymosor Cyrus. When sending a PM, use a template like this:
Quote
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Double posting from the official vtorrent thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889481.msg23414840#msg23414840

Sorry, but this isn't evidence. Anyone can forge a screenshot like that.

Dev, if you are really still here and want that account back, you need to sign a message using an address you have proved you own at a previous date.

All the info is here in one of the oldest, locked forum posts on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

Please do this and show us you are still committed to this project.
