Title: Account hacked :(
Post by: exus2 on May 27, 2018, 10:51:24 PM
Hi,
on may 16th my account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=231031 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=231031) ) was hacked (password and email changed), I immediately locked the account.

I don't have a saved pm or post but I checked my user profile page on web.archive (link: https://web.archive.org/web/20140411201026/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=231031 (https://web.archive.org/web/20140411201026/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=231031) );
in 2014 I was using a btc address as signature ( 18Yd65Y5VwUuvcyHGaHHYTmnfPAfsZfToe ) and I still have access to it.
I already sent a pm to Cyrus and Theymos but...I'm not sure if this proof is enough, what do you guys think?

At least you've lock your account so the hacker can't use your account.

About account recovery, it's usually more than  6 month to get notice so all you can wait is wait
