WWZSOCKI account recovered succesfully, BIG THANKS!

[dkbit98]

I downloaded some malicious file exactly 1 day before it happened on laptop that I use when traveling, so nothing important on it, at least I thought so, I missed that there was brave browser synced to my other devices and I haven't unsynced it (big mistake)

If you don't have Brave browser set to delete browsing history each time you close it down than they didn't need to hack anything.
Just opening browser and going through your history and bookmarked pages would be enough for them to access and change your account.
I would suggest stop using browser password managers and switch to something like KeePass, and make transition from wind0ws to Linux OS.

Once the account recovery is queued, it's reported on security log and it's also recorded on BPIP.

Very helpful - thanks, @hosseinimr93.

...Automatic ban and locked account are definitely different - meaning you can still log in to your account even though it has been banned, but not when your account is locked.

Tell me if I'm wrong...

No you can't login, account is not accessible anymore after lock,

this is what i have seen with my account after I locked it, when I tried to reach it using my profile link, I have seen message: "account locked"

Of course - when you lock your account via the email you received, then no one ^{[including you and the hacker]} can log in to that account anymore. But trust me - if your account is not locked but your account is only banned, then you can still log in with some restrictions including sending PMs and make post.

Consider for example, this account: Dancil
Status: Profile has been Autobanned at 6/6/2019 9:22:10 AM - Last Active: August 28, 2024, 06:48:13 AM

indeed I am really happy that mods reacted blazing fast to reports and deleted this scam thread posted from my account immediately

That was most important for me and first I did was to comment in this malicious thread to warn everybody, reported and then locked account

What do you think about giving some confirmation about the account with Altcoinstalks that is connected to your account here? There, too, a topic was started to possibly warn more people, but some things are still unclear. Especially after the statement that someone got hold of your password stored in Brave browser.

"someone get hold of my password stored in brave?" where you found such info?

ONLY my bitcointalk account was hacked and even i don't know how for sure, all my other accounts are of course ok

from where you take such info?

Perhaps you talked out your Brave browser being in sync or something like that as seen in this post. So what he is saying is based on that.
But in general the whole Idea of browser based password managers is just bad news. Avoid them at all costs if you can.

I saw this post, and later read what JeromeTash mentioned and also explained. Maybe you should clarify everything somewhere so that there is no confusion.

this is also why i wasn't so happy to explain how I think they got into my account and waited as long possible
i knew that there will be many unneeded questions and despite i have written that I think they wasn't able to breach my password manager password (because is truly strong 16 signs with special once) only login to Bitcointalk account using synced brave browser, browsing history and autofill passwords (only my assumption)

stated few times that only my Bitcointalk account was stolen - nothing else

But in general the whole Idea of browser based password managers is just bad news. Avoid them at all costs if you can.

sure you are correct and this is why all important or $$$ valuable accounts are always with 2FA anyways

somehow I missed Bitcointalk account but all of this is rather secondary topic right now

dashlane, keeper and others are also not the best idea despite better then generic browser password manager i know, there is no good solution for that and i think that 2FA saved my day

...Maybe you should clarify everything somewhere so that there is no confusion.

I already commented there on OP request in DM, other ways I wont comment there at all

but after reading it now I have replied there again, thank you for letting me know

looks like some members like to be visible in such threads and create kind of unneeded drama

@paid2 @Lafu @tranthidung - please remove red trust from my account as it is already back in my hands

I am still banned after recovery, can't post and this is why i continue from this account

shall I send email to banappeals...@bitcointalk.org and again wait for help or maybe moderators can help me after reading this?



I appreciate any help, thank you in advance

What you are posting in the screenshot is strange. How can you be banned for plagiarism after you had successfully obtained the account from a security lock? Unless the offense happened before the hack (i.e. around the time this thread was created), shouldn't that be nullified too as it was effectively another person who had done it on your account?

yes exactly, I am also surprised to see it being still banned after recovery,

no I had no problems with my account prior to the hack

as mentioned first I reported scam thread that hacker posted from my account and asked mods to remove it, luckily it was done blazing fast, so nobody was scammed but now account is still banned because of this I assume

let's wait for moderators/admins to look at this

...
I see that hacker already used my account and posted scam thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5507114.new#new

PLEASE DON'T GET SCAMMED!!!

...

EDIT
changed this thread title to: WWZSOCKI account recovered succesfully but still banned

maybe it will help to get moderators or admins to look at this

Glad to hear the good news - your account has finally been recovered.

Regarding your account status still being banned - I think you need to create an appeal thread on meta. You need to take a different approach than account recovery - obviously it takes longer in my opinion. But anyway - good luck with this stage.

If you are banned
Your ban message may have an email address which you can email. If not, then appeals are unlikely to be accepted.

I AM BAAAAAACK!!!

don't know if it was released from ban on auto or somebody from forum admins lifted it

so big THANKS to forum staff and all members that helped me in last few days

THANK YOU!
