-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- So, few weeks ago on 29th of August, my account password was changed when I was asleep. https://i.imgur.com/HhNRK9D.pngWhen I woke up in the morning, around 5 a.m.-ish, I noticed that my account has been logged out when I visit BitcoinTalk. So, I tried to login back into my account, but the system says my password is incorrect. Then, I tried to reset my password via email, but the system says something like incorrect email(IIRC). So, my last hope is to reset my password via secret question. Password successfully changed via secret question, but now my account has been banned or locked. https://i.imgur.com/wn6vISt.pngIf you doubt about it, search for my username in the Security Log. You can see that my account password was changed twice. The first one is "password changed", which was not done by me and he second time was reset via secret question, which was done by myself. Oh, sorry, I almost forgot to mention about this... my username is krunox123. I can sign an old bitcoin address to prove that krunox123 is my account. Bitcoin Address: 1NkVkNiNdn4bXJ34U7BZo8aK1qPLiQnnvM Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150753.msg1890880#msg1890880I already sent an email to the email address provided in the ban message, and two private messages on 30th of August and 8th of September to theymos and BadBear. Until today, no response from either of them. That's why I make this thread. 20th September, 2015. 8:58 PM (GMT+8) -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- 1NkVkNiNdn4bXJ34U7BZo8aK1qPLiQnnvM IC2AXokvSy5Z3jZEQZ7faiHbgaGcCttxpKVn3bM/5lAKGaoRydGg4v++G5Tt6Il9vRvCKk+hYbn4TBR57HKmqeA= -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I guess you're going to have to message theymos again. He's a busy man, but should eventually get around to sorting it out.
Or unless he sees this post.

I'd like to do so, but I will wait for another week before I send him another private message. ...and I hope he sees my post, so I do not need to do so. Been also in that position before. Badbear responded to my mail when I openned a thread about the same problem before. Maybe try to contact badbear in the forum I don't know if it will help badbear to notice your problem. Give another week tho. Maybe they are just busy .
It has been 22 days since the first private message sent and 13 days since the second private message sent. I think I'll wait for another week. i think the support of forum need to be bigger for this issues my acount its perfect now but i may have problems into security and a email to support could be usefull to deall with this 2000 users problems but unfrotunatly scammers and bad issues are not related to forum not even totaly the accounts if campagned
Sorry, but I do not understand what you say.

As the krunox123 account is used by you and your sister, it is possible that she has changed the password so that you spend less time on BitcoinTalk and more on your studies. So, before bothering theymos and BadBear, you need to confirm with your sister about it.

One thing i don't get; you talk about stolen account while you make thread titled "You are banned from using this forum!" Were you banned or not ?! If yes, then provide reason why if it's stated.

Yes. My account was stolen while I was sleeping, but I managed to reset the password via secret question as soon as I realized I couldn't reset my password via email. Password successfully changed via secret question, but now my account is banned/locked. I'm not sure why though. I named this thread "You are banned from using this forum!" because that is part of the ban message. https://i.imgur.com/ymVorFv.png

If the hacker had a keylogger or a RAT on his computer, he could have easily stolen the password and changed it later. OP, have you checked your computer for viruses? Yes. My account was stolen while I was sleeping, but I managed to reset the password via secret question as soon as I realized I couldn't reset my password via email. Password successfully changed via secret question, but now my account is banned/locked. I'm not sure why though. I named this thread "You are banned from using this forum!" because that is part of the ban message. https://i.imgur.com/ymVorFv.pngThat is a new security thing that theymos implemented since the site was hacked a few months ago. It automatically locks the account if the password is reset through the security question. Technically your account is locked, not banned.

I've used the same password with my Bitcointalk account on several website. If the hacker had a keylogger or a RAT on his computer, he could have easily stolen the password and changed it later.
OP, have you checked your computer for viruses?
Yes, but I don't think it's because of virus because I did virus scan and my antivirus says my computer is clean. That is a new security thing that theymos implemented since the site was hacked a few months ago. It automatically locks the account if the password is reset through the security question. Technically your account is locked, not banned.
If I reset my password via secret question, my account will be locked? I did not know that.

I've used the same password with my Bitcointalk account on several website. Have you found which sites were compromised? Maybe some site had a leak and that password was used to guess on a bunch of your other stuff and eventually led to bitcointalk. That is a new security thing that theymos implemented since the site was hacked a few months ago. It automatically locks the account if the password is reset through the security question. Technically your account is locked, not banned.
If I reset my password via secret question, my account will be locked? I did not know that. Yeah, theymos said that he was doing that because the hash on the secret question answers weren't very strong so they could easily be bruteforced and people would have their accounts compromised.

No. Yeah, theymos said that he was doing that because the hash on the secret question answers weren't very strong so they could easily be bruteforced and people would have their accounts compromised.
So, my account will be locked and I need to make this thread every time I reset my password via secret question?

I've do so as stated in OP, but no response from either of them. I cannot reset the password via email, that's why I reset my password via secret question.

If you did what message asked you, and with this thread, it should be enough to get their attention, just be patient as they are always busy. In the meantime, figure out how the attacker got your details in the first place, otherwise you'll be making this same thread in a week - if you got infected, the attacker will just take the details again..
