Title: Pls help me! I think my account was compromise by a hacker!!!!
Post by: darkangelosme on April 21, 2018, 09:45:32 AM
Is this airdrop is real please help me! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3360867.0 there is an accusation post in that thread that it was a scam. And the sad part is i already signed up before I've read the accusation post. If it's a true scam there are possibilities that it was a hacker trying to stole our bitcointalk account. What do i need to do in order to prevent the lost of my account.

SORRY FOR BEING AN ACCUSIVE PERSON! I'M JUST AFRAID!

Edit: pls! Check out this post on that thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3360867.msg35214413#msg35214413

How would you be hacked with them only having access to your usernames?

Just think about it for 10 seconds and the answer will be clear: you won't be.
Even if you were hacked, any password/email changes would send an email to you and you could lock the account.

You worry seems legit but I do not see anything to be worried. I know your username so do everyone. It can not cause any problem. If I know your the password of your email address or if I can figure out the password of your BitcoinTalk account then there is something to be worried.

I do not see any of these case here. So, just be cool. Always use a strong password for any account and advised to change it at least once in a six month.

PS: I just rephrased actmyname's answer. I guess everyone will have the same answer for your worry. I have your answer. I suggest you to lock this topic if  you are satisfied.

Thanks

Sorry for the inconvenience mam. Im only worried because I'm not so kind of tech expert person and i don't know how to deal with those hackers. By the way thanks for this info mam.
