Account got hacked - Hacker is using my trust score to scam others

[dominiclloyd0]

My account <avax> has been hacked.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=129728

I don't remember I have a linked bitcoin address linked to my account (if there is one I have no problem signing it)

PS: I'm the owner of this post (created a year ago)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1083244

where I state that I am an active user of bitify.com (formerly cryptothrift.com)
https://bitify.com/user/cointrade/

The bad thing is that the hacker is now using my name and feedback history to scam other clients on this forum, like this one
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1419926.msg14378065#msg14378065
(not posted by me)

I can prove the ownership of my account here as well as my account on bitify as well.

I'm happy to answer any question to prove my ownership if that could lead to help me restore my account.

Thank you for your help

Sadly, there is none.
Maybe some of your trade partners (ghibly79, chronicsky, luluchick, cointell, BitNow) can provide one of the addresses you sent them in private messages.

Left temp negative feedback, will remove it if you can't verify ownership though.

Can you confirm you're still in control of:

Damn, why does this always happen to me ? I sent him 8.5 usd btc .

[dominiclloyd0]

Can you help?

This is why I left negative feedback without seeing a signed message. Usually scammers stall like this.

Of course I could be wrong and will apologize for leaving feedback if it turns out it wasn't a hacked or bought account.

Nothing much I can do. I left negative feedback, but that would only slow him down from scamming others. Reputation is most likely ruined by now.

Can you sign this address avax?

Thanks for getting here so fast after my PM.

[dominiclloyd0]

Yes i own that address.
But I never signed an address before.
So give me 10 minutes to learn how to do it

Well then, I hope those who accepted paypal or anything reversible are ready for the chargebacks

There's a great tutorial on how to sign a message with various tools by shorena.

how does so many users get their account hacked? just curious. my friend also got their account (not bitcointalk) hacked yesterday and that made me really paranoid.
can I get hacked just by browsing the internet? I always have avast on and is very careful when downloading things. am I protected or not?

[erikalui]

Too many accounts have been hacked recently (especially accounts with green trust ratings). I've already escaped twice from getting scammed. OP, when did your account get hacked? Did you use a weak password or click any links on this forum?

[dominiclloyd0]

thank you for that
however it seems blockchain.info changed their design so that tutorial, is not helping me see where to sign an address with the new design.
If anyone has an account on the new Blockchain.info I would appreciate any help

Or I can send the admin here, $1 from 131pBGSGtQ9Z5XuGUFYV55NB1iq5nSoaJ5 as a proof that I own that address.

Thanks for helping

If you are using the new beta wallet, I think there currently is no option to sign from the addresses (that is according to my information).
Although, I don't use blockchain.info, so if that's wrong, feel free to correct me.

Are those blockchain.info addresses aswell, or can you sign from any of them?

Blockchain[.info] hasn't changed their design.

They have, if you are using their beta wallet.

[erikalui]

^Blockchain hasn't changed their design. Just login to your account, click Receive Money tab, next to your address there will be a Actions drop-down box which you need to click and select Sign Message. In the pop up, type a message to verify your account and copy paste the code you get.

No I can't sign those addresses, but I can prove the ownership of 131pBGSGtQ9Z5XuGUFYV55NB1iq5nSoaJ5
with no problem

they have a new wallet. there's an option to switch to the new wallet on the log in page. once you switch you can't go back and you're stuck with an incomplete wallet with no option to either sign a message or export private keys.

if OP have saved the private key of that address somewhere he can import that to another wallet. if he can't then hopefully theymos will accept sending bitcoins from that address as proof.

If I move a specific amount of btc from that address to another address will that that be enough proof?
You tell me the amount and I'll move it.
Let's say 0.34356322 btc
or whatever you want as number.

Please help because with the new blockchain.info design there is no way to sign an address.
