Title: Upcoming on 1 year since account was hacked and submitted information to staff
Post by: vagnavs2 on September 23, 2018, 10:55:54 PM
Hello,
in October, it will be approximately 1 year since my account was hacked. I was legendary status.. A member since 2012
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=48852

I used to stop by and to try the help community from scams and other answers. But I have abandoned the site as basically, my identity is gone..

I have submitted the requested information to both Cyrus & theymos. But have not heard a thing. Maybe someday I will get the account back but the odds appear to be slim to none.

With that said, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Brian

I see that you have a bitcoin address in your profile?
As far as I know, if your profile has a bitcoin wallet, then you can recover your account. Here's a manual in Russian, use translator

Here's another topic on the subject of hijacking the forum account
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2168490.0

And here's the theme from admin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

Here's an interesting discussion on the subject of account recovery, I Think would be useful

thanks for the reply, but I have followed the instructions and sent the details to the admins. Step-by-step and in the format they wanted.

this seems to be coming more of the norm. Many people have had their accounts hacked and are locked out now. I should have contacted the hacker and see how much he wanted..

Best regards,
Brian

Theymos said he's working on an automatic recovery tool that should be ready before the end of the year so you'll likely have to wait for that unless he gives the ability to some other staff member(s) to do so in the meantime.

Are you new here? For a start, addresses in profiles aren't accepted, but accounts just aren't getting recovered regardless if you have all the correct data or not so the info you provided is useless. I seriously wish I could  demerit posts sometimes.


Speaking of being new and hacked accounts, why is there a huge gap in your posts from January 09, 2015 to June 16, 2018. Can you sign a message to prove ownership?

I've seen/read too many request to recover their account in this board and this example is the worst for almost a year without being recovered and noticed by the admins.

Theymos said he's working on an automatic recovery tool that should be ready before the end of the year so you'll likely have to wait for that
Hope it will not reached until 2020 :-\

Only if the admin can implement even at least a confirmation email/message once a  person change the account's password or email. Most probably it will lessen the numbers of hacked accounts.

no, I'm not new here in regards to your mentioning (did have legendary status) I'm not sure what you're referring to as I did post.  I did post shortly after January 09, 2015.. Yes I can sign a message and verify it proving I'm the owner of the account.. I have sent the details to those listed for recovery. I will try to get to that shortly

he wasn't talking to you vagnavs2 :D he's talking to doolittle, there's huge posting gap ~3years+ in his post history
may be just coincidence but bpip.org shows this:

Security/Moderator Log
6/23/2018 6:50:01 AM         password reset via email
8/3/2018 9:15:52 PM         password reset via email
password reset a week following the first post after 3 years gap posting
seems a bit weird resetting it after a week but have no problem remembering it since his last post 3 years ago
