VIP Member hacked?

[nutildah]

Its worth noting that the BTC_Bear account is active again, and this time the owner is an account farmer.

I have a question for @theymos (I don't know if the "@" symbol helps at all but anyway):

After investigation, I consider the evidence to be most strongly consistent with the hypothesis that his email account was hacked and then used to take his forum account.
...
However, while he definitely wouldn't have enough evidence to recover the account if he didn't already have access to it, I have enough doubt that I'm not willing to lock the account at this time.

Given that the owner of this account never bothered to respond in this thread, and that it changed avatar, personal text & signature to the Rainbet campaign at the same time as several other accounts, would you consider locking the account now?

Does Theymos use the Telegram notification bot? I am not certain.
Maybe a PM or an appeal in Meta to have the account in question locked can draw his attention but I think the negative tags are going to render the account useless anyway

We really need to find out why old hacked accounts are waking up and specifically wearing the Rainbet signature.

I see the account as -8. While it would be ideal for the account to be locked, I don't know that it would be much risk leaving it unlocked. I could be wrong, I just think most will see the -8 and not have any dealings with the account.

How does "Rainbet" get all those accounts to spam? I'm currently running a search on all active users, to see how many of them wear this signature. They keep popping up right after changing their password!

Update: I've listed 188 accounts with "Rainbet" signature who posted in the past week.

I have 2 theories about that:

1) It makes the account look like it was in a signature campaign recently, and thus capable of getting into campaigns.
2) Rainbet is actually paying somebody for this.

Chances are someone is just priming all these accounts for sale. Well, good luck now that most of them were tagged. Maybe the owner is planning to con someone unaware of how the trust system works or something.

Account ownership changed years ago and he already received a bunch of negative feedback on his profile.
I seriously doubt Rainbet or any other business would accept him as a member of their signature campaign.
It's not like they or manager are blind and can't see this his feedback, but it would be good if Rainbet manager Hhampuz can confirm this.

Adding this signatures was probably initiative of account farmer, and he could easily add any other casino instead.

The farmer of those accounts is either dumb to think it's easy to catch the pattern, ir has no clue about the trust system works. Rainbet is largest campaign with over 150 participants + how many left the campaign. By wearing Rainbet campaign, nobody will notice. And because he is shitposting, he relied on the campaign nager in the campaigns he managed to apply won't check the post history as the believe they were Rainbet active participants.
