Hello guys, I've just receive this message in private:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
cryptapus was not in control of this account approx. Oct. 14 - Oct. 16 2017. Please disregard any messages received during that time.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
(with an address here) not sure if its safe to post it here
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

What does that mean? What do I have to do? I sent a PM to Cyrus

Edit: This is the guy that sent me the PM: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=249408

He is cryptapus

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this:

I'm assuming a different account was hacked, and that was a warning to let you know in case you interacted with that person.

I could be wrong though...

There is no danger for you imo. Just change password and stake your own address somewhere at the forum.

You think so? How can I stake my own address somewhere on the forum? Not sure how to do this :/

Any other opinions are welcome!

Thanks!

Hello,

I sent you that message because my password was most likely brute forced and my account was out of my control for at least that time frame. No danger to you.
