1  Other / Meta / Account compromised, email and password changed on: July 16, 2018, 07:18:05 AM
Hi there! My account, MultipliedCombo, was compromised. The email and password were changed.
As a safety measure, I locked my account, only to discover that the email used was a disposable Yopmail address and that I could've logged in and reverted everything myself... Oh well Smiley

This is a signed message from 1DbVcZ1KSLq9SMEmgTaEkk8mjTLsj9NLtk, the Bitcoin address associated with the account (on the profile and as well as being posted here in 2015, precisely in case for this sort of incident).

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This address is owned by MultipliedCombo, who is currently MixedControl on Bitcointalk.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
1DbVcZ1KSLq9SMEmgTaEkk8mjTLsj9NLtk
HCYshhnvfYax/Fp3gocM1ZSzaQCrh1oRUBFm6r9DKb+WX2OueDl79llhpmGhFKFzKTujAcKL53Tlf5uebOMP2Kw=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

now to play the waiting game.

If your account has been compromised by someone who changed the email address to a Yopmail address, you can easily recover it by going to the Yopmail website. The email addresses are disposable, so all you need to do is type in what the hacker put as your new email address, login, and recover your password from Bitcointalk. This process is probably a lot quicker than locking it...
