This is really strange. I mean how??
I still don't know how that hacker was able to breach my account. I tried to recap what I did these past days and weeks. As an internet guy for a long, basically, I know the basic and advanced safety measures for protecting my personal account. Although there's no 100% guaranteed protection, I'm really sure I didn't do some crappy moves that lead to this. My Bitcointalk account was only accessed here in my IP's home and on my mobile data (single network) when away.
No downloading attachments, no downloading apps, not entering any inputs on a field, etc.
I don't welcome any random apps, browser plugins, extensions, etc. from random sources on my PC. It's been well protected by me for years and this is actually the first time I got to this kind of situation. Aside from that, all my keys, passwords, and any personal stuff can't be found on my PC, email, notepad, files, etc. as I stored those on my external flash drive and a backup USB drive.
In the first place though, I'm glad that my account got locked right away after posting that thread as it might do some sh*tty moves. I was around 2-3 days offline until I realized that my account was compromised. Hopefully, I can get back my beloved account.
It took me I think or more than a week when I experienced the same thing. My account got hacked last year, and with that, I knew that the email that I used in this account is being pwned (I think this is the term they used correct me please if I'm wrong). I changed my email, used an email that hasn't been used ever since, but created for quite some time, and until now, it's been all good in the hood.
Hey Kabayan.
Did you just send an email to the provided address and just wait? No follow-up?
