Dear 5thFear,

Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) password was just changed by IP address 116.0.53.10. If you did not do this, then you should use the forgotten password feature to change your password.

Regards,

I have changed the email back to original and i have changed my password, but i would like to know if there is 2-step authentication available and that is there anybody else who suffered from this kind of situation ?
