Title: Hacked account
Post by: Gimpeline1 on November 07, 2017, 06:38:36 AM
My account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=90393
Has been hacked.
Got this email this morning

Dear Gimpeline,

Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) password was just changed by IP address 5.188.11.165. If you did not do this, then you should use the forgotten password feature to change your password.

Regards,
The Bitcoin Forum Team.

I will post my staked bitcoin adress when I get home from work. Please don't do any trades with this account since I'm not in controll of it at the moment

Most people will not see this unless the account is explicitly tagged. Didn't theymos add an option to freeze your account via email? See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2282758.msg23164732#msg23164732.

What's strange about it? Did you not read the thread that I've linked properly? When your email is changed you get a notification. The trust summary always displays recent:
a) Password changes.
b) Email changes.
c) Waking up from a long period of inactivity.

It is strange that it didn't show up for Aleator
I read the link and the account is frozen

Thanks for spreading awareness and raising the flag we should follow this as good practise when we get troubled.

I really think that all you have to do is never share your email address with anyone here :)
