Hello,
My original account was hacked on December 1st. I received a link from bitcointalk through which I locked the account. My question is what can the scammer do with the account after having been locked? I saw my original account online today. How is that possible?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Perhaps you should read the other 345 threads about this.
