The account was stolen 4 days ago.
I now see that just before this I was getting emails from scammers who are trying to extort me for $1900 in btc with my leaked password by claiming they have vids of me watching porn. (Ive looked this up and found it is a scam but the password leaks are real). Im guessing these are the same people that stole my account.
My proof is that I still own the email that the account was just registered to 4 days ago and I can correspond with it. I do not get why this is not enough.
I used such an insecure password because I dont do anything particularly important here or transact any business - I simply shoot the shit on the speculation forum. After this happening twice though, I guess I change this habit and use a more secure password.
Also, I think we should make it so that password and email changes require email confirmation.
