Password recently reset. I'm trying not to jump to accusations but the user has been spamming with three word/short sentence posts to gain activity. I'd recommend not dealing, this is just a warning since the user seems to be posting on alot of sales threads.

Just a warning, this is not my account. I could be wrong (I hope I'm not), but keep an eye out anyways.

it might just be an account that was freshly bought, and the new owner is spamming nonsense to cash in the banked activity. if their spamming gets bad enough the mods will just ban it, no need to pay it that much attention.


their trust page.

Hmm. Maybe it was sold? I've seen a lot of accounts being sold with a lot of pot. activity so that might be the reason why the guy is spamming.
Also I have a question. Where can you see that if an account has recently changed their password? (sorry if this sounds dumb but I really don't know where people see it. ) ???

I could say that 90 percent of them is short post - one sentence with not capped first letter. I think that it is not hacked but most probably account farming. Other than that, it could just be someone (with only one account but) who cannot make good and long posts.


You can check that by checking their trust page. There will be red letter saying this account password was recently changed.

ya i think that user came back after veryyy looong time
Date registered : May 02, 2013
And still Position : Full Member
activity : 142
Maybe hacked account or maybe sold account ))

You can see it by clicking the trust page of the user.
On the top it will be written like "This user's password was changed recently"
Hope i was helpful )

This could be a newbie question but really I don;t know how you know its password was recently reset.  ;D
If one could just view this information, then it must be something a hacker may see it as a vulnerability.

There is already two answers posted in this thread.

I would say with a near certainty that the account is either sold or hacked as of recently (November 4). The account's password was reset via email twice on November 4 (which is an indication of a sale) which also happens to be the time when the account started making very low quality posts, and was not posting prior to that before January 2014

and additionally you can check users which changes their password for the last 30days here https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php

Erm you mean password change right? Pass change twice usually means there was an escrow as well, sometimes it might be three times as well. But never heard of someone selling an account by resetting their password.
@OP it definitely seems like a hacked account, wonder how he may have gotten the email credentials though. Have you contacted the person yet? He may provide signed message or other evidence to prove otherwise

that guy is on a roll, 49 posts today, I don't think it's a hacked account , most likely a bought account and he is trying to maximize the full potential of his account if there is or maybe trying to get the moderators attention :)

may i know the reason why we are interested in it ?
1) If it is hacked and if the real owner cares about it ,he will make a thread in meta.
2) he is not posting bullshit but spamming for sure ( 47 posts today ), MODS will take care of it.
i personally think it is a sold one.

edit:- making threads is not gonna help, is my point.

I would go with bought account as well. They are also spamming.

If this ever happend it happend days ago.

Yep.  Account has not been sold or transfer led this is still me.  Email hasn't been changed and I have access to prove it.  Thanks for whoever gave me bad trust for that.  

You never posted a Bitcoin address and I can't see the email account you registered with so there is no possible way for me to confirm that the owner of this account hasn't changed.

Not really worried about helping myself.  Sad to see people abuse the trust system just because someone has been posting, regardless of the content of the posts.  You should just let the mods do their jobs

Oh the juicy irony in this post:

yeah I see that now.  just throwing around trust because of a few posts?  take some time to get some proof at least
