Title: Account stolen and blocked.
Post by: RestoringKek on October 08, 2018, 12:10:27 PM
Stolen account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1136853

Good afternoon! The email of my account was changed on July 14th. As soon as I received a message about this, I blocked it (via the link from the e-mail). I sent messages to theymos and Cyrus, but got no answer.

I post the BTC address here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2595535.msg26428989#msg26428989

Unfortunately, you're not the only one (there's a huge backlog) + You'll have a better luck after the implementation of "new recovery system":

If you have not posted that addy elsewhere, it probably won't be accepted.


We don't actually accept the profile field address unless there's some sort of proof that it's remained unchanged, for that very reason.

I'm working on a new address-staking system which will automatically handle signatures, etc. Might have it ready by the end of the month if nothing else comes up to consume my time.
I used to do them sort-of regularly, but at some point I just couldn't stand it anymore, in addition to not really having time. Cyrus is still doing some, though not enough to keep up.

I acknowledge that the current situation is very bad, and we have some plans for fixing it. I hope to have manual account reviews going smoothly again before the end of the year at the latest.

You might want to include a signed message as well...
