Honestly im surprised ANYONE even still deals on Bitcointalk, We all know a forum which encourages the SALE/TRADE of user accounts isn't to be trusted.
It has become common for accounts to be sold/hacked for scamming purposes, Its like the only reason the forum is still active lol.

Staff/Admins don't care its been proven time again, Sorry for your loss hopefully you'll learn from this experience.

Hello Nguyen Duong Hieu, Phuong Thao says "Hello!", Disabled loser.

Poor chink is delusional, Claims to have made $3m in funding; couldn't afford $100 to buy the account or any other aged BTCTalk account lol.

Typical old-fag trying to throw their weight around by negging a user without even reading,
As you have seen on the post related to other Sr. members who have been helping me with the recovery process.

I've already stated the facts, I never sold the account as for CroByte i was paid to make the post by the dev whos on HF since i had an aged account; If you look at the account no further content related the crypto occurred. Overall it seemed liked a failed project as they never even got to the ICO stage and dev may have gotten arrested.

Read over the actual facts next time before reaching conclusions, Account was never sold. I found out it was compromised months later as i'm not active on this forum, Upon reaching out to the creator of 'TEDChain' they informed me this was all an misunderstanding and claimed it was sold to them, we reached an agreement that i would sell them the account in exchange for not proceeding with the recovery of it.

Since you like to defend scammers, How we all know this wasn't a 'stolen identity' is because when the original thread was made: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4744880
After GameTiny & David Cheung being exposed they quickly deleted many of the social media accounts that link to them, I have also spoken personally with several of Cheung's colleagues and friends and they've confirmed.

Some updated information regarding the scammer 'David Cheung' a/k/a DC, DavidCheung87 and his buddy Game Tiny - https://www.facebook.com/tedmorning.daydreak/
Since then UK Action Fraud has been contacted, I've also been made aware these individuals are on a visa so i may submit a report with the British consulate highlighting their online activities.

Don't even bother with recovery, Bitcointalk admins have made it extremely easy for the hacker to win.

Its actually easier to hack an account than to get one back.

While i do appreciate your previous help in opening a thread, You're free to mark me red in 'trust' if you'd like.
This is a forum i rarely visit nor do i care about the account, I however do not want my name involved in any scams and that's my sole purpose for these threads.

To answer your post, The person who took-over the account claimed they'd purchased it off someone else and offered to buy it off the correct owner (me) in exchange for me not going through with the recovery process to which i agreed. It wasnt until further research that it was determined that this person and the "hacker" were one in the same (David Cheung).

That isn't any of your business, As for what the point of this thread is? It's to start a dialog as to why one of the most popular BTC communities, Lacks such basic and essential features to secure its members accounts.


This is getting off-topic now so i'll leave it at this.

At no point was i encouraging anyone to 'take what isn't theirs' - I simply provided an example of what COULD be done with it based on the traffic stats the domain received.
Am i contributing to the problem? Maybe, So are hundreds of others, Keep that same energy with the same Legendary/Hero members who are ACTIVELY selling frauded GC's, VCC's & accounts.

Instead of harassing me over a 2-year old post.

OP deserves merit for this, Looks like the scammer is deleting all his accounts lol Twitter, FB are gone.

Its alright i'm confident i'll get it back with or without the admins help, That's cool you have the right to feel that way.

Either way its good to know the scammer has been exposed at-least lol.

I don't mind waiting at all but my Issue is with how long the wait is as i stated previously, If you look throughout META you'll find hacking victims that have been waiting 2+
months for recovery which again comes off as lazy and inefficient on the admins part and frankly im surprised no one else is talking about it.

I mean really how hard can determining who the original owner of the account be? In my case my IP hasnt changed and i have the original email, also have my skype ID throughout thread history.

Karma for what exactly? Was i selling a phishing script along with the domain? Get off your moral high horse i've seen WORST sold on here and you dont seem to mind, besides you do know the domain had other uses non-related to phishing, I merely used that as the selling point.

I do appreciate you helping out by making the thread and atleast preventing others from getting scam!

Lots of work? All we need is an account changes confirmation email and it would have solved and prevented all of it. It isn't "lots of work" either, literally every single forum board software includes it as a default security feature from PHPBB, VB, MYBB etc. and yes even Simple Machines.

If recovery isn't a priority then why waste users time and forum thread space making a shitty post asking users to PM staff only to not hear from them after months later as seen in many posts throughout META? Again seems lazy and inefficient, I understand that admins have duties and possibly lack manpower but to put their users account security last or just completely disregard it, is unacceptable.

Sorry but you're wrong, This has nothing to do with them emailing us requirements for using the forum safely but rather about broken policies put into place which are not only making the recovery process complicated for the community but also doing absolutely nothing to prevent issues in the future.

As i stated previously it makes absolutely zero sense for admins to require this type of information if its not even a requirement to begin with, If anything it seems like the lazy way out to basically shrug off the user.

Rather simple if you read the texts provided in the thread, The person who took-over the account claimed they'd purchased it off someone else and offered to buy it off the correct owner in exchange for me not going through with the recovery process to which i agreed. It wasnt until further research that it was determined that this person and the "hacker" were one in the same.

At which point i initiated the recovery process which has been a total waste of time.

On May 19th my Bitcointalk account was compromised via bruteforce, However it wasn't until July 9th 2018 that i found out as i'm not very active on the forum.
What surprised me about this situation wasn't that i was hacked but rather how EASY Bitcointalk made it for the "hacker", I'll elaborate.

Why does Bitcointalk offer NO security when it comes to its users accounts?

Since the beginning of the internet websites have always required the account-holder to verify ANY major changes to an account ie; password change, email etc.
Apparently Bitcointalk doesn't seem to require any verification of account changes, I mean sure we have the option to lock the account within 15-days of the changes happening
but that doesn't do much in my case or in the case of any casual member of the forum who doesn't realize until weeks after the fact.

Your account recovery process is trash, Why?

I contacted Theymos on July 9th explaining what happened and how the hacker was attempting to scam the community via an ICO crowdsale, Received no response so i then reached out to Cyrus and still have not heard from either of the forum admins 2+ weeks later.

I'm aware i'm not the only one whom this has happened and it isn't as if my account was Hero/Legend status but when someone is attempting to scam your community and you as an admin are given weeks heads-up notice and don't even bother to read the message, Its concerning for the forum overall. I'm a member of several larger internet boards and they don't really seem to have this problem so what are the admins of Bitcointalk doing?

Recovery Method?

So in order to recover a stolen account we must supply admins with Bitcoin Address or PGP Key related to the account, EXCEPT none of which was REQUIRED upon signing up.
Why not make it clear to members that they MUST supply a wallet address or PGP key and/or store it somewhere as backup incase they're compromised?

In my case i used hundreds of different wallet addresses and never PGP signed my account that i recall.

With all the posts about accounts being compromised you'd think that there would be an urgency of sort to assist users of the community, Instead the entire procedure and account safety features seem rather moot.

Still waiting for your lawyers info so i can get in touch, Tic-toc don't keep us waiting!

Which other projects have we destroyed? I will pay you if you can find evidence of me EVER tampering with anyone's crypto project. For what purpose? This isn't extortion, You bruteforced my personal account and are now using it to scam hundreds of unsuspecting victims.

Fact is i offered to sell you the account for $100 which ANY serious company would pay immediately, You and Nguyen Duong Hieu a/k/a GameTiny (public info does not go against BTCT rules), instead wasted my time by claiming you cannot afford - further proving you're a poor Vietnamese guy.


TEDChain's video was made by a Fiverr freelancer you paid less than $10 USD for this video, High-rating? You only have (2) votes 5-star votes which were EASILY submitted by you.
Great! Lets get our attorneys involved, I'm begging you please forward me your lawyers information as i have questions about this "TedLab Science LTD".

Tôi hiện đang nói chuyện với chính quyền địa phương ở khu vực Kampala vì gian lận này chống lại luật Internet Việt Nam. Chúc may mắn!

Hello everyone,

I'm making this post to make everyone aware of an alt-coin that goes by TedChain as it is a scam, Several days ago it came to my attention that my Bitcointalk account had been compromised.
To my surprise the person who took-over the account is claiming to have a 'gaming platform' coin that goes by 'TedChain', I immediately reached out to the 'dev's and posted on their thread but was ignored.

I proceed by contacting them via Telegram to which they admitted that the account isn't theirs and claimed it was simply a "misunderstanding" but offered to buy it from me,
Seeing as they had decent community feedback i offered to sell it to them for $100 USD. For a company who claims to have a 'revolutionary' coin, They wasted my time and are now claiming to not have any money and that they're waiting to make money off the crowd-sale scheduled for July 17th.

Yesterday, "Marc" from TedChain reached out and asked me to 'authenticate' the account is mine by showing him proof which i did as you can see by the screenshots, After providing him the proof which included screenshot of my Skype ID as seen below he went through the account and attempted to erase or edit all my previous thread in an attempt to get rid of any proof.

Thread Post-Edit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=560554





Further proof was sent to him showing the dates of the same thread being made on my other account from another forum found below, As you can see once again he went through and modified the threads but i have included the cached version:

So not only did the owner of this scam-coin takeover my account but now they are attempting to scam the Bitcointalk community as its obvious this isn't a REAL company or dev team but rather a vietnamese ripper,
On July 17th they plan on launching a "crowdsale" to get as much money as possible, We can prevent this by RT'ing on Twitter and help spread awareness. As for the account i have already contact Cyrus and am in the process of recovery.
 

HELP STOP THIS SCAMMER!
