Title: Restoring hijacked bitcointalk account
Post by: Snail21 on October 26, 2013, 04:05:38 PM
Can somebody tell me how can I restore my hijacked bitcointalk account? The guy who did this changed password, email, and secret question. Unfortunately I can't find any guide in the help section about such security issues. Any idea would be appreciated.

You previously don't have secret question for your account?

I had a security question but the guy changed that too. I found and killed a keylogger on my machine but it was too late  :-\.

I had the same problem. I contact an admin, which told me to contact Theymos. I contacted Theymos and provided him with a lot of proof that it was my account, but I never recieved a response. So you're probably screwed :)

Thanks. I'm going to try to do the same.
