Bitcoin Forum

Hi everyone,

I've explained what happened here(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1398355.msg30478715#msg30478715 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1398355.msg30478715#msg30478715))
but thought it might be better if I posted it again here.

I didn't log myself into this forum for years, and just discovered that I've been locked out from my own account (leepsteer00) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=116970)
when I tried to log in just now.

Looks like my account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=116970) has been hacked and controlled by some scammer(?) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1398355.0)
Thus created this account (leepsteer) to post this disclaimer.

Is there any way that I can proof that I'm the legit owner of the aforementioned account?
Maybe via some address I've used in the past?
No, password reset by email/security question is not working.
And no, I didn't sell my account.

Looks like someone had already noticed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=116970) that my account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=116970) have been controlled by someone else.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Edit: Sent a email reset request to Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147) according to this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0). Thanks w5pn73 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=298723) for the help given.

Have you ever staked a bitcoin address? You will find what you need in this thread:

Nope.


Thanks, I'll take a look into it.

I believe the staff actually recover accounts via different coins as long as they work the same way in signing and verifying the address. It would probably need to be a popular altcoin like ETH because they would already need the software to verify the message.
