1  Other / Meta / Re: My bitcointalk-account was hacked, what to do? on: October 14, 2017, 03:42:02 AM
Hello  Smiley

This is a new account because my original account (FrozenCopper) was hacked.  Cry
Since yesterday, I am not able to login using my password. Resetting my password is not possible because I don't get the necessary email. I guess the hacker changed the mail adress.
There are also two suspect posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399496.msg21720265#msg21720265, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2165319.msg21696557#msg21696557) from the "new owner" of my account...  Angry

Is there any possibility to get my account back?  Smiley

If you do not have the ability to recover your account, verification may be difficult. I was once in a similar situation, fortunately thanks to the administration of a certain party I was able to recover the account.

I have been hacked twice in one day.  I am truly shocked.  My account is wafdawg.  I'm a senior member.  I created my account in 2014.  I've sold several coins in market place in the past.  I have an eBay and Youtube associated with my name and BTC address with this account.

When I couldn't log in and I realized my email address was no longer associated with my name I performed a search on how to recover and found this thread.  I created a account named therealwafdawg so I can contact theymos.  Tonight I go to login to see if I have received word about my hacked account and I was hacked again! I now have made this account.  I seriously don't know wtf is going on. Never been hacked before. First time I chalked it up to being hacked and was shocking in of itself. The second time in the same day is ringing alarm bells loudly as I had to associate it the account with a different email address and I used a different password.  If this account gets immediately hacked I have serious concerns about Bitcointalk's security or I am being specifically targeted right now in a manner that I have not yet figured out.
