I saw it too when Stewartj asked a loan in my thread.

theymos also stated Stewarj left positive feedback on GGGGG which isn't a good thing too. theymos or BadBear maybe able to answer this.

Yes I think GGGGG is hacked, because theymos has left a negative feedback to him. So I don't think that theymos was "wrong" but I don't understand the relation with Stewartj.

Stewartj left positive trust saying that he got a very large loan from GGGGG

Is it stated anywhere how long that warning remains? Been seeing it on quite a few users.

It was, but I restored it to the original owner a while ago.

Is Stewartj also restored? The negative feedback you left is still there. If it is, only mentioning about the trust abuse is good IMHO.

I don't think so. The negative trust that he left is very recent, and is somewhat confusing when you first read it. If it was restored then he would probably not have left negative trust.

Is theymos_away really theymos?  This is my first time seeing this account.

Right on to you quality folks who keep track of these potential breakins.  Makes me feel a bit safer that so many folks are keeping an eye on reset passwords followed by new behaviors.

Yes of course a "normal" user cannot create an admin note, by the way I really like this note when the password is changed (it is really useful) and can prevent a lot of scam attempt.

Thanks, Quickseller, there's obviously a lot about the forum software and its features which I know nothing about.  I should hang around more in meta and learn a thing or two from sages like you.  Cheers!

BadBear also has an _away account, unsure on its use.

i think they only use "_away" account when they log on from another computer except their personals to avoid  malwares catching their admin accounts passwords

That seems smart.  I can see the utility of this for sure.  You never really know what's happening on someone else's system.  And don't make me comment on the sorry state of security on public systems like you find in a library or something.
