Title: Account was hacked
Post by: ligangyi on January 23, 2018, 05:34:09 PM
My previous account got hacked into and somebody else posted under my username supporting projects that are probably scams. Any idea what I should do to recover that account? it was created a long time ago and I guess was part of the leak that happened back in 2015 or so.
