sardasa account hacked yesterday

[legendster]

My account has been hacked again 4 days ago.
I got it blocked within minutes of receiving the password change e-mail.

This is sad, i hope no one was scammed through your compromised account. I am also wondering how the hacker good his hands onto your account once again

Too late for hoping that.

Although Sardasa is now a part of the Indian TG group and he is actively trying to recover his account.

What is surprising is, how easily he is managing to get hacked. I wonder if someone is bruteforcing his account and if that is even possible (something that could have forum-wide repurcursions), or if he's being too careless with his login credentials.

Now, I have dropped email to recovery team and still waiting for them to revert.

Account recovered now.

Thanks,

How come your account gets hacked everyone now and then, check your system for any loggers or any viruses  as this is the second time your account is hacked this year if i am not wrong and you have a trading history here and something is fishy.

Since your situation is sorted close this thread.

Even after changing my e-mail address, my account got hacked again today at 8:15 AM GMT.
I got it locked within 5 minutes.

This time hacker has bombarded my e-mail account with spam mails. In last 1.5 hour I have received 3K+ mails. Please suggest a way to stop this bombardment.

Someone with e-mail id oliverfichtner@icloud.com has hacked my account this time. Their IP address is 179.43.157.33 (somewhere in Zurich). If someone lives nearby then please visit this person.

If this keeps happening, you should really improve your computer security. Maybe even consider changing OS?

Other than using a spam filter or changing your email address, there's not much you can do. If your current spamfilter can't handle it, you can consider forwarding all email to another email provider with a better spam filter (Gmail for instance often marks my legit emails as spam, so they just filter a lot).

You can email abuse at icloud to report this.

Was this new changed email address known to anyone? Spamming emails means the hacker also knows the new email as well as has access to your PC. It's better to create a brand new account for the time being till you don't find a solution to this problem. You can instead access your BCT account only via mobile if your PC is corrupted.

Hacker's phone number also is present here:

You shouldn't post that here, DOXing should be moved to Investigations:

1. Personal information must be confined to the new "investigations" board (under Scam Accusations), which is only visible to Members and above. Personal information is defined as anything which links a user's online identity (username, email, etc.) to their meatspace identity, excluding links that the person himself has posted. It is not allowed to post somebody's personal information in any other public place, including in signatures.

sardasaAccountHacked, option one is that someone who has access to your computer does it, whether it's a person with physical access or someone who has remote access via some RAT (remote access trojan virus). The only right thing to do is to format the disk, and install a new OS, and some antivirus/antimalware software.

Maybe these tips can help :

I don't think he has access to my computer as I do not use Bitcointalk forum on my computer at all.
Somehow he got to know my new e-mail address on Bitcointalk forum and changed it to his own.

Now, when I am requesting recoveries team to unlock my account then they're treating me as if I am letting my account hacked on purpose and they're saying that it will not be unlocked.

If it's no secret, where exactly are you accessing the forum from, I mean are you using a computer at work or maybe an internet cafe, something like this? This is definitely not a good security practice, you are actually at great risk of using the forum that way.

That computer you are using obviously has a keylogger installed, for a hacker is very easy to get your password for the forum (and probably e-mail), and from there are no obstacles to take over your account.

If you have a signed address, it's proof of ownership of the account - but before that, you have to completely change the way you approach the forum, because otherwise, you will find yourself in a similar situation again. The recovery team somewhat has the right, from their perspective, you don't seem to care enough about the security of your account.

What all precautions do you guys take to keep your account safe?
It's just that hacker is targeting me again and again and forum is not implementing 2FA which I asked last time as well.

That hacker (or more of them) is targeting you for one simple reason, you are an easy target. In the little less than 5 years, I've been a member of this forum, I've never had the problems you have, but I never log in from other computers or even my smartphone - and I am using strong password with e-mail that is also very well secured and it is used for very sensitive things.

2FA it would certainly be a welcome feature, but in your case, I don't think it would be helpful - your hacker would probably find a way around, 2FA is not something that provides absolute protection.

As with the previous occasion in December 2019, I have placed a negative on your main account trust feedback stating that I do not trust the hacker.   I will gladly remove this negative when the account has been restored to its rightful owner.

Recoveries team is not ready to unlock my account even after proving the ownership of my account. Can someone please help me to get access to my original account. During covid-19 situation I am struggling financially and need my original account to liquidate some of my crypto holdings. I would really appreciate if someone can help me out here.

The account has been hacked so many times that, at this moment, we're unable to guarantee if we're actually talking to the owner or the hacker. Since the account was hacked 3 times, we don't know if the email/private keys are in the owner's hands or not as the hacking extent seems to be pretty serious. Our stance is "no hands at all" is indefinitely better for the account than to end up in the wrong hands and we've made that clear enough by email as well.
