Title: My account is HACKED - What should I do to retrieve it? *PROOF INSIDE*
Post by: amon raa_Hacked on December 13, 2017, 01:34:57 PM
Hello guys, I tried to login into my account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=378067 today and I surprised that the password is incorrect
and i have found this email : "Dear Amon Raa,

Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) email address was just changed from don.*****@gmail.com to sbtc.org@gmail.com by IP address 203.118.42.165. If you did not do this, then you can visit the following link within 14 days in order to lock the account:

[link]

Note that you will NOT be asked for your password at that URL.

Regards,
The Bitcoin Forum Team"

I have locked the account but i do not know how to regain access to it. Any help guys?

if you have locked your account. nobody will be able to unlock it, you may send email to theymos but it will be difficult for him to recover your account because they are rarely do that. it will be better if you create new account and keep it secure, dont let anybody know your password also. dont use the same password in another site.

I've heard account recovery is rare, though, so best of luck.

So theymos will not help me to regain my account?  :o
I do not even know how my account was hacked, I did not click on fake links nor reset my password using fake emails and I dunno how this happened.

The admins will help you recover your account if you give ample proof that the account is indeed yours, and a bit of time.

Just to add to what @ikilledcobain linked, here's a guide on how to sign a message using the electrum wallet: https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/guides/how-to-sign-a-message-with-electrum/

Feel free to ask questions. Good luck.

Are you talking about a different account? not the Amon Raa (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=378067) one? If so, kindly send the profile link.

Also, did you actually follow the guide and signed a message using your hacked profile's wallet? If so, kindly post it here so I know if I should continue trying to help you.

I just went through this myself, So I'm gonna throw this out here.

Here is a link with your address from jan, 2017 to prove you posted in the account.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1757510.0

However, I couldn't get your message/singature to verify. I HAD THIS PROBLEM TOO!

You have to make sure the Message in your wallet with the date matches Exactly as it does in the post.

Use this tool to verify before posting it again for someone to help: https://tools.bitcoin.com/verify-message/

I got lucky and people helped me out too. Theymos unlocked my account yesterday.

Okay, Bro, I'm not gonna even try to click the link you posted to verify---looks kinda Phishy.

The other link is the one I gave you, with the address.

You need a signed message with TODAY'S date that can be verified.

Also...That new signed message will not verify as well.

I'm not a mod I can't unlock the account, I'm just trying to help.

You need to include a new email address to reset it to.  It can not be the same one, or any one in use on the forum already.

Locked accounts will be hard to retrieve. If that is online and hackers would have an interest towards it they'll have a hard time. There are services but not sure on what are those.

Hello,

I don't know who is the right person to help me but my account was hacked.

PGInvest was my account and got hacked and i can't recover it. What can i do?

I can give all the info on that account. like signature before the hack. siganture before it was changed to the pre-hack.

profile image before the one that is there now.

What can i do to recover my account?

If you read the thread, you would of come to your answer within a few replies. You need to sign an address which your account either posted publicly, or sent via a PM. Giving just what the signature had/looked like isn't proof of anything.

Follow these instructions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

I've heard account recovery is rare, though, so best of luck.

I try this to recover my old Full member account from 2013 but didn't get answer for almost 2 months so I think it's forgotten account. now I have this one new but old one got all my post's I liked and followed from time when I started BTC mining :( Too bad I can't recover that for now, I still will try to do that. There is a way just if someone willing to do that, I have all proofs they needed that account was mine. I will wait and keep trying. If someone want to help me? tell me who to contact I will appreciate that a lot.

I've heard account recovery is rare, though, so best of luck.

I try this to recover my old Full member account from 2013 but didn't get answer for almost 2 months so I think it's forgotten account. now I have this one new but old one got all my post's I liked and followed from time when I started BTC mining :( Too bad I can't recover that for now, I still will try to do that. There is a way just if someone willing to do that, I have all proofs they needed that account was mine. I will wait and keep trying. If someone want to help me? tell me who to contact I will appreciate that a lot.

You could start your own thread and post the signed message. I can verify it ,and it might
help get the attention of a Mod or Admin. You never know when and if they will see a PM.
I'd imagine the higher ups in this forum get spammed with a lot of B.S. and they overlook
some of the "need to do" PM's.
