What the hell, I'm pretty sure you got hacked if you are posting your email and IP address around without concerns. Never give this information to anyone, except theymos or Cyrus.

DELETED YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION RIGHT AWAY!!

That was the hackers IP and email you have posted, sorry.
But anyway keep you info save.

Apart from efforts to get your account back, this is really shady behaviour.
When someone did so terrible thing as stealing someone's else account, they wouldn't use it to promote honest project.
I really hope they will get what they deserve and you get your account back

I think the hacker took advantage of the opportunity that you did not post for a long time so did not expect to close the account.
As long as you have access to your mail address and you can sign a message using an old address you can restore the account.
Also, I do not think the Screenshot is enough to tag that account (negative trust,) sign a message.

I'm curious how they were able to hack you. Did you try to log in recently? If you're not online in recent weeks then either they brute force your password or somehow got a leak on your account details. Another possibility is that somebody sold your account to them.

The reason as to why they use your account, in this case, is clear, to add more credibility to their project. Full Member gives a different impression than Copper or Newbie Member.

Could you please explain how someone else was able to take over your account? Phishing for example?
It will definitly help others avoiding the mistake you made!

If they hacked you just to post their shitty ANN, what else do you expect ? Just more shady behavior.
Have you started the procedure of recovering your account?

BUMP!

I don't know if you are aware but last week there were two very similar cases where someone manages to temporarily access an account from which a fake announcement thread is created...leading to malware wallets:

On May 10/11th there were 7-8 such topics released, and I believe all these people have compromised accounts. I also think these are not isolated cases either. With theymos' help, we found that both bbvedf and Mrengage profiles were temporarily accessed from very suspicious IPs around the time these topics were created. I know that IP logs are not 100% proof of anything but still. All IPs that have had access to their profiles have been repeatedly reported for abuse...scanning ports, unauthorized connection attempts, etc.

Honestly, I see a repeating pattern here which makes feel a bit uneasy, to say the least. How are 6-7 accounts not related to each other being compromised like that? People behind these accounts judging by their post history are from various places - Nigeria, Spain, Italy, Indonesia.. etc.
