Title: My account is hacked! How to recover
Post by: Aliraza6o6 on April 09, 2018, 09:03:13 PM
Hi, this is my profile which is hacked.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=858869

I was unable to use bitcointalk.org since my last login and last active correctly shown on the profile page. I saw some security log website of bitcointalk and searched my self "ahpkind" and found that it showed Password changed and I correctly remember that I was too busy to anything and I just checked 1 thread or two. After that I was busy for about a week and when I checked my account it was automatically logged out from it ( I chose to stay logged in when I logged in last time ) and when I tried to log in it says incorrect password.

I tried the forgot password option trying to reset it via email but I am out of luck and cannot get any email from bitcointalk.org ( I have checked spam and everything ) and about other option ( asking question ) it says that you haven't set any question. I signed up in 2016 and cannot remember if I had added any security question or not.

Can anyone please help me get my account back?

By the way this is my friends' account. Thanks!

Sorry for your account lost, hoping you can get your account back.

I have not hacked or been hacked on BTT,  I am confused why there are so many accounts hacked and can't be gotten back. On other websites, we can get our account back or reset the password easily by email of cell phone verification. Is it not available on BTT ?

You have to sign a message using your wallet with the address affiliated with your hacked account. This is to provide proof that the hacked account is indeed yours.

What if I don't remember the account linked to my lost account? Becuase I have 2-3 BTC accounts that I would link and I cannot remember which I have put there. :(

Then you probably can't recover it. I wonder what's the purpose of having 2-3 BTC accounts..

Well, then I guess I am out of luck. About 2-3 BTC accounts, 1 was an official wallet, 1 was from an exchange and 1 was for my personal testing purposes. And yeah, I used to use different on different places. Plus I was a total noob in crypto world till October 2017 now I have a little bit know how about crypto world.
