Title: Hacked/Lost Account
Post by: eXpl0sive_2 on March 08, 2018, 05:40:19 AM
I have lost control of my original account eXpl0sive (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=504065) as of yesterday and I have reason to believe it has been hacked. However no posts have been altered/deleted from that account as of now from the time I lost the control. I am in the process of regaining the control however please do not trust any activity from that account until further notice. Thank you.

Here is the unedited post where I posted that Bitcoin address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg19115363#msg19115363

*Edited the post for correcting the URL. Thanks BitRentX for bring it to my attention. I don't know how it could happen since I always use bookmarks to access the site and it's correct.

Do not click the link posted in the OP!

Well, it's OK if you just click it, just don't put in your credentials into that fake site. Here's the correct link to OP's staked address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg19115390#msg19115390

Message Verified (http://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify?vrAddr=1MvREBwkwJFS6ZFoUYfQYWfrrqVB7TGhA8&vrMsg=My%20account%20eXpl0sive%20has%20been%20hacked%2Flost%20as%20of%2007-March-2018&vrSig=INXKryhmkDje2YWURqag%2F22X25XyJjWnBXEU8JvbbN4%2FGBDwP6oeuU7xcP%2B%2F1qOv2xrFx8MwZo1lbEaUoFuZtgI%3D) and tagged the account.

However it seems like you put a link to bitcointalk[dot]to instead of bitcointalk.org. This could be the reason why your account is hacked in the first place. Please change the OP as others might fall for that.

Also try send a PM to Cyrus/hilariousandco.

Thanks for bring it to my attention, I've updated the link OP. Don't know how this can happen since I access the site only through my bookmark and it's the correct one.

Anyway, I've already sent PM to Cyrus yesterday and now waiting for his reply.

Tbh, I almost fall for that after I clicked the link you provided but noticed right away because I just logged out automatically. Like, when the fuck I logged out? I wasn't stop until I tried to log in and noticed the reCaptcha error. And this could be the case for you. Bookmarks won't help if you got the link from inside the forum itself.

Thank you. Yesterday I was scratching my head about how the account could have got hacked and what you suggested seems to be the plausible explanation. Anyway, I'll just wait for Cyrus to get it back.

I wish I could give you merit for your post but this is a newbie account; I'll do it once I get my Hero account back  :)

Hi hilariousandco,
If you're reading this, this is in line with our conversation in PM. Since I've exhausted "2 PM-per-day" limit for newbie account, I can't send you more proof via PM, so posting here.

You asked if there is any other older Bitcoin address apart from what I've already posted and signed message.

I found one here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg18960135#msg18960135

I'm signing a message from that address:

Can you please change my email ID to what I sent you in PM? Thanks!

OK, so its been more than 2 weeks and neither Cyrus nor Theymos has responded to my message. hilariousandco responded saying he can't do anything. So i assume there is no hope?

We just have to wait.  Apparently, there are much more important tasks than helping users.

That's not much older. I'm talking one years older not just a week or two. The older the address the more likely it is to be accepted.

Message cyrus and theymos again if it's been two weeks.

Locking this thread. This is not going anywhere.
