Title: How do I know if I was hacked?
Post by: lk7 on September 18, 2018, 11:42:02 AM
I always thought I was hacked because I never receive the password reset email.

However, I have searched my emails and I have never received the notification of email change.

Is there any way to tell what the (possibly new) email address associated is or isn't?

I registered another account (lk6) and recently the email was updated. I missed the email update notifier as it went to spam. I found it now. The accounts are unused and I get the impression these hacks were automated and probably from Russia.

The main account is jago25_98
I'm not expecting to get the account back... I just want to know if it's been hacked or not.

a spammer promoting a scam project!!

OP check the Spam folder, if someone has access to your email maybe he deleted the reset mail.
If you don't kno what email you used to sign in, the task is gonna be harder try to contact moderators.

The first is to condolatory with you, but perhaps you have set the mail password to be the same as the  bitcointalk account password, and the hackers who entered your mail  delete the mail message which warning change the mail. I advise you to be careful with other accounts, so install two layers security with security questions, set different types of passwords and random.

We all know bitcointalk was hacked in 2015 there is a lot hacked accounts. May be some backdoor in forum software, they are using Powered by SMF 1.1.19 | SMF © 2006-2009, Simple Machines software, which is very old but that doesn't need to be reason. I'm on that forum from 2013 and got hacked in September this year. I don't know how that happen.
