Title: Who do I need to talk to about a hacked account on here?
Post by: BTCNola on October 26, 2017, 04:13:59 PM
I just found out my old account on here was apparently compromised and someone started using it to scam a lot of people.  I don't know if it is worth trying to get it back or not, but I would at least like to clear my name at a minimum.  I have been out of the scene for over a year so I don't know who the mods are nowadays.  Thx in advance!

First you'll need to find an address which you posted from your account which you still have access to.

Then send a PM to theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35) or Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147) using the format laid out in this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0).

IIRC only admins can recover hacked accounts.

if you did not staked btc address in the past or if you are unable to sign the message from your old btc address then you can not prove your ownership. I fear that it would be difficult for you to regain your account without the signed message from the old btc address. Good Luck mate.
