Title: Account Compromised
Post by: AnimoEsto2 on September 21, 2017, 08:13:27 AM
Hi

My other account has been compromised - anyone got any ideas how I can get it back?  They have changed the BTC address on it, etc so going to be a little difficult.

I have sent a message to the Admins, but at this moment in time, no response.

:(

Unless you posted an address that someone quoted so the hacker can't change it and now can sign a message from that address it's not possible to get your account back. The admins can't know if it really is your account without that proof.

The best way would have been to stake your address in here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0

you will never get any reply from them if you can not prove it that you are the owner of that account.
you need to sign the message to prove it,if you can not do that and keep asking to return back your account email to the old one,they will ignore you.
and what is your account name by the way ? so we can give him a negative trust.
(actually i doubt it that you are the owner of that account,because what you are asking for is return back it to the old email.while you can claim it back using a signed message and send it to the moderator)
