Title: Hacking Bitointalk
Post by: tlcsecure on April 05, 2018, 03:43:07 PM
My account was hacked and someone changed by email and login information.

I got an email from bitcointalk giving me the option to lock the account but I still had to re-register.

I may have lost my status and could now be a "Newbie" again. Is there a support or moderator fix for this?

Surprisingly, there’s a sticky post about this very topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.

Follow the topic bitperson linked to the letter, and said it to either theymos or cryrus. Be warned though there's currently a huge backlog of accounts judging by all the threads in this section and you may be waiting a few months before hearing back.
