Yay!  It's nice to see some accounts have been recovered from these nefarious hackers!

Welcome back aizzaku and dragonmike!

The quick answer is here:

You have to have a BTC address that you've posted and you can sign a message with. 

You bought stolen goods.  You need to do the right thing and return the stolen goods to their rightful owner and accept that you'll lose money.

Also, don't pay him.  He probably won't give your account back anyway.

Don't worry.  Justice will be served and the poor guy that "bought" your account will lose his money and you get your account back.
He's not innocent; he bought stolen goods.  People that buy stolen goods frequently lose their money when the original gets his Rolex watch or whatever back.

Thank you sir, I appreciate it.

Isn't it funny how the day my stevegee58 identity got hacked there was 1 nonsensical post here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2181617.msg21990657#msg21990657

If you read the 799 posts by me (stevegee58) you'll see that I write complete sentences and tend to go on and on sometimes.
This last post by my imposter is strong evidence that my account has been taken over.

How would I know? I only have 11 posts.

I will say however that there are rumors of a beta site with more security.  A step in the right direction though it doesn't fix my problem of getting my hacked stevegee58 account back.

There's always been a security problem from day 1.  No 2-factor authentication, unencrypted passwords.

There's been a sudden big wave of hack complaints this week.  I'm part of that wave since my stevegee58 identity was hacked.
I suspect that the leaked username/password list that's been for sale for a while finally found a willing buyer.

Verified!

On coinig

Users are being locked out because there's been a massive password hack.  My original username got hacked earlier this week along with lots of other people.

When my stevegee58 account got hacked a few days ago I thought it was just me.  Now it looks like I'm part of a tsunami of account thefts.

Wake up Theymos!  This is a big fucking problem that needs to be fixed!  Your old protocol of "send me a PM that must be formatted exactly this way and maybe I'll look at it" isn't working any more!

This is going to create a big stink that will chase away your advertisers.

Yup I know that feel bro.  I've most likely lost my stevegee58 hero member to some soulless bastard.

The previous long post lays out all the gory details.  Here's the short version:

• I, stevegee58, posted a transaction using my BTC mining address 13pxMeP6LhtNAe3RPUw2EdJZyNHf4ooLs2
• I no longer have the keys to 13pxMeP6LhtNAe3RPUw2EdJZyNHf4ooLs2 but I moved all the BTC out of that address to
  1GpTTD5EupwzmNYWLb2WDUrqYFPcHGVC4V which I do have the keys for.
• I created a signed message using 1GpTTD5EupwzmNYWLb2WDUrqYFPcHGVC4V with my private key, proving provenance to 13pxMeP6LhtNAe3RPUw2EdJZyNHf4ooLs2

I can prove stevegee58 is actually my account:

On August 06, 2013, 10:03:26 PM I started the thread "Whoever just sent me 0.001 BTC out of the blue...thanks":
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269231.0

Later in the thread I stated that the address that received the 0.001 BTC was my mining address:

Later in the thread I posted a link to the actual transaction where I was sent 0.001 BTC:

The link above shows 0.001 BTC going to my mining address 13pxMeP6LhtNAe3RPUw2EdJZyNHf4ooLs2

Later again in the thread I stated I was sent another 0.001 BTC:

The last transaction for address 13pxMeP6LhtNAe3RPUw2EdJZyNHf4ooLs2 on 2014-02-06 shows all the BTC being transferred to address 1GpTTD5EupwzmNYWLb2WDUrqYFPcHGVC4V which is an address I own.  This was me consolidating my BTC into a new Electrum wallet.

Here is a signed message proving I own 1GpTTD5EupwzmNYWLb2WDUrqYFPcHGVC4V:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account stevegee58 has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to xxxxxxx. The current date is 2017-09-20.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have verified this using coinig.com

How can you tell the email wasn't changed?  I looked at the security log at https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php and all it shows is how the password was changed (by email reset or manually after logging in).

I suspect the perpetrator had my password, logged in, then changed the password and email.

Yup, when I try to reset the password I don't get the email.  And yes, I did check the spam folder.  It's just not there.

The only proof I have is the email for this new account is the same as the hacked one.  Other than that I'll just have to follow my old account around and post replies to it notifying everyone that "stevegee58" is not legit.

My account "stevegee58" was hacked this morning.

I've read the rules on how to get it back but I have no way to sign a message with a BTC address since I never associated my account with one.

At the very least I would like the account banned to prevent this bastard from posting under my name.
