If your friend cannot provide the evidence that is required in that thread, the chance of recovering the account is significantly reduced, or completely squashed. If your friend does have the evidence, then they can send it to the email, and hopefully recover the account. If you are asking about how to secure your own account from theft, then the advice would be the same as any other online account. Use secure passwords, which have multiple characters, and includes special characters. Do not, click on links that you don't trust, and don't download software which you do not trust. Do not share your account credentials with anyone. Those are the basics, but they should serve you well. Its probably worth checking whether your email account has the same security protocols as above, and you don't use the same passwords across the sites.

They have proof xx coins are at a certain place, but the exchange won't help them, Theymos won't help them with evidence, etc, etc. Someone has got to be the first big boy to force someone (sue) to give back coins that were stolen. Why should an exchange give back $100,000,000 just because you have a death certificate and blockchain proof the coins were stolen? They can grease a lot of wheels with that stolen money... You will need to direct your friend to this thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089777.0 Good intention, but false hope.

He can also make an new Account and make an Topic here about his banned or hacked Account. Whats the Account Name of your friend ? DT Members can tagg them as long its not in his hands but there should be a proof that the Account is hacked or not anymore in his hands. |
