generalt account hacked

[real_generalt]

This is just to let everybody know that my former account generalt has been hacked.  Somebody else now has control of it.  I sent a PM to theymos but I never heard back from him.  Unfortunately they changed the BTC address of my original account so now the signed message that I sent the theymos to prove the account was mine is probably useless.  Please do no do any business with generalt https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=354479.  I will post back here if I am able to get my account back.  

October 12, 2017, 03:25:27 PM - generalt - password changed

That was not me.

You need to sign a message from a staked address posted from that account otherwise this thread/report is useless.

I sent a signed message to him with the BTC address that was in my signature, but this morning whoever hacked the account removed that BTC address so I'm guessing I'm not getting that account back but at least if people search for any information on that account they can find this and know that the account was hacked.

Didn't anyone ever quote your Bitcoin address when you posted It? If so, it really doesn't matter if the hacker has deleted your post, as it would still be preserved in a quote anyway.

Would've been nice but I just did a forum search for the address and nothing came up.  Thanks for the idea though.

User KWH  you should not give negative feedback because you feel some might be hacked. IF OP proves he is real user then only you should proceed. Just see how user lauda proceed in such scenarios.
If this continue the ever other day someone change his email tgen some random man will come up and say that he is tge real owner of the account and you dumb will add your feedback to it.
You are in DT so you should use your power judicially just like other users do. Ex : lauda.

I don't see anything wrong with his feedback. Given the data that we've gathered over the last few months/years, the following:

This user's email address was changed recently.
This user changed his/her password recently.

appearing at the same time ended up being a hacked/stolen/purchased account in the super majority of cases. Sometimes it is combined with a very noticeable change in writing. For example, I've tagged someone today who had the following two and started writing Indonesian suddenly even though they were usually writing English & German. The account mentioned in this thread is much more dangerous as it has both trusted and unstrusted positive ratings.

[U2016]

This user's email address was changed recently.
This user changed his/her password recently.

Is it just if a user email and password is changed so he deserves negative trust?
If so then many people will abuse it ,if someone changes his password then someone will make new account and start claiming that his account is hacked.
If he has given negative rating based on posting traits and behavioural writing the he must mention it in reference or comment.
Anyways i appreciate his caution as the account in question is dt account but not always all allegations are true and he might end up fighting like tman and ognasty at the end.

Wrong. I've said a combination of both, and it's trivial to prove that you're the original owner. If you plan to both change your email and password, you might as well prepare a staked address.

If he has given negative rating based on posting traits and behavioural writing the he must mention it in reference or comment.

This one was the right call from KWH, whether you like it or not.

I think it is adequate as is, given the uniqueness of the message but yeah.

This message checks out, Coinig link. Though, yes, you should really add the date to that address and sign the message again.


@KWH, I am pretty sure the signed message was generated today for this case at hand. "Thank you KWH for finding a message with my address!" is a pretty direct message for this instance.

Quoted and verified.

Thank you again.  Unfortunately not a single peep from the pm to theymos with signed messages about getting my account back.  I guess he's got bigger fish to fry.

Account recovery seems to be low priority, waiting is all you can do.

Theymos could implement f2a and make account sales illegal and that would hugely cut down on the spam, scam and whatnot on this forum. I can't believe why this is not a priority. If not this, what else?

Yes two factor authentication would be great.  The mere fact that you can sell accounts show that they have value worth protecting with two factor.  I think more and more people are getting used to two factor authentication in light of all the breaches.
