Bitcointalk account hacked, recovered

[tranzactionezlive]

My Bitcointalk forum account was hacked this moring at 8:22 AM( +2 GMT ). An yopmail adress mirroring my own email adress (using the same name as my email adress but using the yopmail.com anonymous passwordsless email. I don't know what private messeges were sent as i've seen that no posts were made.



"Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) email address was just changed from (my email)  to tranzactionezlive@yopmail.com by IP address 192.71.249.83. If you did not do this, then you can visit the following link within 14 days in order to lock the account:"


Which i didn't do since i used the same yopmail adress to change password, then i changed the adress on the forum. I don't know if they brute forced or used my secret question answer. In any case, i felt the need to make it public since i don't know what the account was used for during these hours. I recovered it a few minutes ago.

it is your own carelessness, there should not use yopmail email address, yopmail email address is usually used by hackers to take someone's account because the email is without a password.
why do you use yopmail email? there are still many email service providers like gmail, yahoo
if your account has been hacked it will be difficult to return it, but try to tell the events you experienced on the moderator, maybe he can help.

Aside from mine, this is the third account that I have encountered which was hacked using a yopmail email account. This is becoming too frequent and obvious. Let's just be careful next time. Good thing you were able to recover your account as well.

Why did you use it in the first place? Try tutanota or protonmail, they're much better.

Text interpretation failed. No one above is using Yopmail. They have been hacked and their account email was changed to a yopmail's account (owned by the hacker).
