That sounds mostly like vaporware so far. In the meantime, I don't understand why theymos or badbear doesn't implement 2fa for the existing forum in the interm since something like that is sorely needed.

I resent another msg to theymos on 9/26/14. Still no response as of this posting.

All of that is completely pointless. You know why? because all the information on your account can be changed by the perpetrator, including your security question, all without ever having to confirm these changes through your registered email!

I'm in the same boat and I have sent a PM in the outlined format requested. And mines isn't the only one, glancing through this section you can find numerous threads with other people complaining about the same thing.

There is no indication whatsoever that theymos is even reading our PM's to him. It pisses me off how a site like this can't even get some basic security measures in place like 2fa. That post about them making a new forum with these features was way back in march 2013!

Then shouldn't theymos at least get back to us if there is an issue with our PM? All the threads I've read on this section thus far have been people complaining about not getting any response at all, me included! And I have double checked and verified that the PM I sent is legit on both brainwallet and blockchain.info. I don't even know if theymos is even reading his PM for that matter because there is no indication he is whatsoever.

I don't know why you guys keep pointing to that thread. theymos is clearly not doing that.

It's 5 days later, I still haven't gotten so much as a reply or peep from theymos. I don't get what his deal is, I've followed the instructions as pointed out in his account recovery thread. I've verified the signed PM message through blockchain.info and https://brainwallet.github.io/#verify and they both check out.

I mean if there's something wrong shouldn't theymos at least get back to me on what that is? This whole ordeal is stupid and incredibly infuriating -- right now the only thing standing in the way between a hacker and your bct account is your password; there is no other defense to deter a hacker like having 2fa, confirming on email changes etc. like mentioned in my original post.

That being the case, I don't understand why their account recovery process is so piss poor.

Is there any other staff or mods that deal with account recovery that I can also contact to help speed this process? I also mentioned in the message that they can verify and confirm also by comparing the ip logs between my original account and this to help support my case. Additionally, I can also send a confirmation email reply from my original email address used to register that account as well.

All of that should be overwhelmingly sufficient evidence to reset the email for that account.

I've sent badbear and theymos signed messages as per instructions here. In fact, I've signed it twice using two different btc addresses that have been used with my original account to prove ownership. How long should it take them to get back to me?

The hacker changed my pw, email and security question on my account. Is there a way to recover access to it? It seems obvious now but BitcoinTalk really needs 2fa and some kind of confirmation sent to the original email on changes like this along with ip logs.
