I can't say for sure... i know (at least i think) i hadn't entered my password in a while... its remembered on the site.  The original password was weak... so i figured someone brute forced it.

Honestly, i don't know how it was obtained.
I do not share my passwords with anyone else.

Bump.

Waiting for an admin to contact me about my account.

Not so much classy as I felt it was the right thing to do.
I should have had a stronger password -- a mistake that will not happen again.

I value my reputation -- and respect the people I have spoken with, and have done legitimate business with, here.
I am waiting for a response from the Admin.

The person holding my account has cost me 6.308 BTC.. in addition to the funds he stole from users in the forum.

PLEASE make sure your passwords are secure, and that you change them regularly.
DO NOT use the same password for multiple sites.  Thankfully, I do not do that.

And finally alex_fun reimbursed his 1.308 BTC he lost to the hacker holding my account.
Now that I have some mods attention -- I hope to hear back soon on recovering my account.

I see the wmikrut account is tagged with a scammer tag.
Good... at least it will keep people from doing business with whomever has my account atm.

One of the mods saw my PM and referred me to another mod who can help me.
Hopefully this will be sorted out soon!

I have been... and I have PM'd people I know and Mods.
This was the first post under this new profile.

I have refunded crymo the 1BTC the hacker took:

This leaves alex_fun... as soon as I have your BTC address I will reimburse you the hacked amount.

No... the email has been changed and the security questions wiped out.

No...I have not heard back from any mods yet.
The account remains rogue at the moment.

Bump

Doesn't matter.... if someone says they didn't authorize the transaction, PayPal will freeze the funds and investigate.

Maybe it won't happen to you... I am just trying to keep your bitcoins, and money, safe.

Reimbursed user kelvinhsu the 4.0 BTC stolen from him from the hacker of forum account wmikrut.

That leaves alex_fun, and perhaps one other person,  I will reimburse while this is sorted out.

Bad idea... I have done this in the past... 80% of the buyers paid, received their BTC and then filed a claim with Paypal saying they never authorized the transaction.  I have to reimburse the cash, and I lost the BTCs.

Bump...
don't want this falling to the bottom before a mod sees it.

I had previously had an account under wmikrut -- and admittedly the password was weak.
I cannot log in, and the recover email address password is not working (presumably someone changed the email address).

I scanned the forums and it seems someone logged on as me and initiated a transaction with a user then scammed them.
I was not that person who initiated this transaction and stole BTC from 2 members here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197760.0

I will certainly reimburse the users if the account can be restored to my possession.  

Please allow me to PM and will send you the original email address on that profile.
Also, I am the only one in possession of the Bit message address on the profile (BM-onDXjoGWuUpVqsuvVt7X2Nq8bEhn71FrT)
