Account hacked, proof of ownership inside, request DT to tag account

[Epimetheus2]

I have created this user to be able to post this question here.

Somehow I can't login to the forum with my own profile. It keeps saying that my password is wrong. I did not change it. Been a member since 2014 so I sure know my password.

Requesting a new password does not work. I keep getting the "Wait 45 seconds..." message. Mail for resetting password is never sent.

Clearing cache and cookies, using different IP adressess, nothing works.

This is my profile. Could you guys at least tell me why I can't login and maybe even send the re-activation link for a new password to the registered e-mail.

Look at this page:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=358058

Seems like the email address was changed recently... If you didn't do this, i suspect the account to be hacked.

Password to this account seems to be changed 5 days ago...

you should read this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

What the... I for sure did not do that. Wonder how this happened.

How can I get my own e-mail registered again?

If so, you better sign a message regarding this that someone changed your email and its been hacked then request to change the email as what it should be. You can send it to the right person or people like theymos though it would take time since he has a lot of important things in his plate.

Send a PM to theymos and Cyrus with the following:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...
OR
I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...

Find your staked address and provide a link to it.

like dillpicklechips already said: sign a message with an old, staked address, PM it to Theymos and hope for the best.

Secondly: post the signed message in this thread and change your thread title to something like "account hacked, proof of ownership inside, request DT to tag account"

This way, some DT members might check out your proof and give you hacked account a red tag. When they do this, it'll prevent the hacker misusing your account. Once you get your account back, PM the DT members that tagged your account with proof you're back in controll, and they'll (hopefully) remove their tags...

So basically my "almost" Legendary account that I have been using for over 4 years (!) is lost.

This sucks balls

I'm not sure if I ever used a bitcoin address here. Damn.

I was looking for your post history, so i could dig up some previously used address, but it looks like your hacker already deleted 99% of your posts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358058;sa=showPosts

Your post history only contains 6 posts, but since your activity is 658, he must have deleted at least 652 posts.

Did you trade with anybody reputable on this forum? A BTC address used in a PM could *potentially* be used as proof??? A signature from an altcoin address isn't sufficient proof for the admin, altough it might be sufficient proof for a DT member to red tag the hacked account.

Thanks for the help but as far as I remember I never used any bitcoin address here. Well, shit happens but this is weird. Why would he even bother deleting all my posts? Really strange. And I was looking forward to becoming a Legendary user after so many years lol.

I've confirmed that:

Addresses posted in non-quoted text(May include addresses not actually owned by user):
Found 0 addresses

You have archival posts so maybe it has your BTC address there (hopefully) that is the hacker can't ever delete it.

/ Other / Archival: 3 Posts

Did you somehow pmed someone with your BTC address or somehow post your address here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0 And someone might have quoted it for you that the hacker cannot delete.

P.S. If you are not sure then try to find some since there might be a chance that there is. It would be a waste really.

P.P.S. You haven't followed mocacinno's advice: change the topic title as "Account hacked" so that some DT members could take a look on it and paint it red so that the hacker can't do some stupid things. (Edit: You already did. That's good.)

Thanks for the help man. I don't think I could find PM's, BTC addresses etc so proving this the way they want is hard. They could just send an e-mail to the address that I've been using all this time (registered with that same mail) but I've read that they won't even bother taking such actions to prove this is mine. Well, too bad. I won't be using the board anymore then, because I don't want to start from scratch.

Still feel bad about it but hey. It's just a forum...

Curse that hacker! I had just left a red trust to that account. Just pm me if somehow you get the access to it that is with proof.
