How would you guys handle knowing that your account was stolen?

I've read and messaged the mods about https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0 but basically know that my account is never going to be recovered, especially since (not knowing of that post) I created a new account with my email address.

My old account:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=146519

I mention increasing heap size and how I posted it on reddit.
Here is my reddit account

If you have a bit/altcoin address and a signed message then I can verify it and will tag your account.

This will likely discourage the hacker from using it.

Archived thread: https://archive.is/PmIth

EDIT: You're most likely telling the truth. Bad post quality after a significant time gap. Change in board preferences.

Can you send a PM from your reddit account to 'actmyname' so I can verify that it is indeed you?

Got it. Account has been tagged already.

It does suck that you (most likely) won't retrieve it though. Account recovery is among one of the slowest things here at BCT.

A person's user handle and reputation, especially when you are involved with large communities, is something that can follow you around. I use the same handle everywhere, and I know no one else out there uses it.

I tried to get onto my account a month ago and thought it was weird that it kept saying it sent my password reset email but I never got it. Chrome had saved my account info so i know my info was right.

May or may not be helpful but there were also 2 addresses originally on that post which could possibly be used to sign a message.

You will want to sign a message from a posted address but I do not believe it matters that your new account has your e-mail.

If I understand correctly, I believe you can just send an e-mail to get the account recovered under an entirely new e-mail address... it shouldn't matter that your new account has the same e-mail (and really, I don't believe it could, because no 2 accounts can have the same e-mail).

Quote
Do not create your temporary account using the same email address you want for the hacked/lost account. No two accounts can have the same email address.
I believe the point of this is not to create a new account with the e-mail address you are going to use for recovery purposes. It doesn't have to be the original e-mail on the account... so I'm not sure why you wouldn't setup a new e-mail somewhere and just get the account recovered to that e-mail, assuming you can sign from one of those addresses.
