You are not saying much. I could be wrong, maybe this post deserves to be on the meta section. Do you still have access to the account, if yes I would just change my password and keep it moving. If the answer is no, then follow the procedure to try to recover the account. I hope for your sake you still have all the required details to recover a hacked account.

A lot of very old newbie accounts and a variety of other accounts have been hacked since then.

You should change the password to your Bitcointalk account.  If you used the same password for your email account as your Bitcointalk account, you should consider changing the password for that as well because a hacker could find out your email address.

If you need any more info, try reading theymos' post from the time of the hack.
