The security log indicates that your password was simply changed on the 9th.

If you can prove you are the real owner of the account (signed messages from Bitcoin addresses related to the account or PGP), admins can help you out.
If you haven't tried yet, use the recovery tool, your email seems to be unaffected.

Before contacting an admin, here are the steps you should take to have better chances of recovering your account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

"Passwords are hashed using sha256crypt
with 7500 rounds (very strong). The
JavaScript that was injected into
bitcointalk.org seems harmless," he added.
The administrator said the attacker injected
some code into $modSettings['news'], which
is the news at the top of the forum pages.
Updating news is normally logged, but this
action was not, so Theymous believes the
update was done in "some roundabout way"
and not by compromising an admin account.

Well, this forum has been hacked before though I'm not suggesting it was in this case.  You might have picked up a keylogger or something like that, who knows.  I don't.  Be careful and don't trust anything around here.

It's been quite a while since that hack. If you did not change password since then it would possible I guess but they seemed to go after special accounts when it happened, like Mt. Gox and some other big name accounts.

I guess no matter reason you will need to find something where you posted a bitcoin address and can prove you still own it through signature.  Best is if you staked an address if not it will be harder to find one.   Others reading if you have not staked and address you really should.  Also it can be a slow process to get account back.
