Title: Did BobK71's account get compromised?
Post by: LoyceV on May 13, 2021, 08:17:46 AM
I remember BobK71 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=502441) from his lengthy posts with usually an interesting view on society/politics. Now "This user's password was reset recently.", and judging by his post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=502441;sa=showPosts), his last post was on February 12, 2021. On May 4 (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=bobk71) his password was reset via email, and the posts he made since then are generic short posts including applying for 2 signature campaigns.

Definitely looks like a case of a hacked account. Addresses are fresh, and, wouldn't you know it, they just applied for a ChipMixer spot. How quaint.

The former poster definitely put some thought in their posts and was passionately engaged in several different discussions... The new owner doesn't give a shit about much and has the personality of a door.

This is probably one more hacked account with ownership changed, and I think that he never posted any wallet address or wrote in altcoin section before May 2021, so I am giving him neutral feedback.

This is obviously and undoubtedly an hack or someone known to BobK71 that can access his account is making use of his account, it is very obvious that the person using the account now is not BobK71. We need to monitor the post of the new user, nothing can be done for now unless BobK71 post anything related to his account being hacked, but the account should be carefully monetored in a way it will not result to any harm of any forum user.

Hello LoyceV  I am the owner of this account. My account password was very strong and difficult. I am a government employee.  I was very busy with my job. So I could not spend time in the forum. Now that the office is closed due to the 2nd danger of pandemic covid 19. I am now spending free time indoors. Otherwise. There has been a crisis of money due to job closure. So I'm thinking now to spend some time in the forum to earn some money. But when I go to login my account on May 4. I couldn't match my account password at all. So I was forced to reset the password via email. Now I am trying to overcome the financial crisis by earning some money using my account. So I'm looking for some signature campaigns.  @LoyceV Don't mind. Is it a crime to change my password? Or is it a crime for me to suddenly think of earning money?

I am a government employee.
I have a very hard time believing this.

Luckily for you, government employees are the last to be affected by a financial crisis.

That part was obvious. It won't work, but it's obvious. Your mistake was to use a well known account from someone who's much smarter than you.

...
The reason your account is said to be suspicious is because the recent posting style is different from BobK71 posting style, but if you are him/her or not him/her, you can try to clear the doubt by providing your staked address or any address once used in a campaign, use the address to sign a message, including today's date on the signed message. There will be a little or no chance that a hacker that hacked an account will be able to sign such message.

I regret not making this thread self-moderated. Please stop posting trivial BS in my topic.

Compare the broken sentences, incorrect syntax, and poor grammar of the above post made by this account to the pretty much perfect syntax and grammar of the previous posts from this account. There is no doubt that the account has changed hands.

No sir, government employees never make any crimes, they use only one password for everything and they never change it.
It's a well know fact.

Really very suspicious to me. I have checked atleast the last 11-12 pages of this account's posts. And what I see he is very active in " Economics " and "Politics and Society " and did not find a post without this to sections. But after changing password and long inactivity he started to post in bitcoin discussion, altcoins announcement, and service sections to apply in signature campaign.

By thinking all the things I can not believe the user is same/real one. There is a high possibility that the account was hacked or sold.

In this case maybe old used bitcoin address signed message can help to prove he is real.

The account has never posted an address prior to trying to join multiple signature campaigns in the last week.

I think that those neutral reviews that were left to him will be a good mark for him. He will not be able to prove anything since there are obvious differences in the style of writing posts. It remains only to observe the further activities of this account on the forum. Practice shows that stolen accounts always make mistakes sooner or later, and instead of a neutral, they receive a negative, well-deserved review.

Hate to break it to you (in case it wasn't already ovbious to you) but no signature campaign here is going to give you a sustainable living. They don't even pay single bills well. And that doesn't even take into account how you're going to cash out.

We can see an obvious change in posting behaviour in that account, from huge and well grammar sentences to broken and generic posts, I can assure that this account was sold or hacked using phishing attack. Since there is no record of crypto address posted in that account then cryptios team may take a look at this case and give a solution.

I have a strong belief that the account has changed hands  :-X I got a message that he has replied to one of my posts, the problem is that the thread is old and inactive, i don't understand why he bumped it again. Did any of you ask him to do the verification? I read his post above but it's hard to know which is true  :-X
