Title: Hacked account recovery help needed
Post by: cryptogenerations on October 31, 2019, 10:27:05 PM
So  I have had one my original accounts hacked and email changed on it recently I have a question in regards to the email part.

I got an email off support saying I need to send email from original email on account. Is this the one that the account was originally made with when open or the one that it had on it before it got compromised as I had had a few email address changes made to the account over the years.

Can someone tell me if wanting one that was current on account before hacked or original opening email address used to open account with?

It's not even really required (AFAIK), but sending from the original (first) email should give you the best odds of getting it back

Email recoveries...@bitcointalk.org, ideally from the account's email address. Include your username and a brief description of the details of how/when the account was hacked. A signature will likely be required (see below).

If you have access to it, I would send from it.

That is what I did the email that was on account at the time emailed from but admin has said the following.

Thank you for your email.

In order to proceed with the recovery process, please contact us from the original email address linked with the account where you will also receive further instructions.

The email  Isent from was the one that I got an email on saying account email changed from ip and to email i also got a link in it

Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) email address was just changed from to  by IP address . If you did not do this, then you can visit the following link within 14 days in order to lock the account:

I followed the link so am presuming that account is now locked  and I also did email from that email address where I got that email from bitcointalk so I dont get how they are refusing it

If they said you need to use the original email, then that's what you should do.

If they can only help you if you still have access to the first email - while you don't -, then there is nothing else anyone can do.
