zenrol28 - Has this profile been compromised, sold or gone rogue?

[JeromeTash]

I discovered that this user: zenrol28 used to be very active in the Pilipinas local board but after 3rd December last year, they stopped posting. Then all of a sudden on January 22, 2020, they started making posts containing phishing links as stated in the scam accusation I made: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5220128

I haven't seen any information from Bpip.org showing that the profile had a password changed.

I just wanted to get opinions from the community members before I could tag the account. Has it been compromised/sold or the user decided it was in his interest to start advertise phishing links?

You could probably tag them for promoting phishing website, it could be removed only if there are clamis of account getting hacked as that would be the only explation I think.

If they posted phishing link report them to moderator and tag account.

I doubt that this user account has been compromised. I've seen this user in Pilipinas board last couple of months and he's making great contribution there so probably there's someone that does have control in his account.

I'll tag it as well and will remove once it's proven that he has regain full control of his account.

Today i noticed that there was a password change on the profile and @zenrol28 confirmed that he is in full control of the account by signing a message from a bitcoin address that was captured on his profile before the account got compromised.

Tonight, just got home from a 10 hours of food delivery service.
I am confirming that someone got into my account and created threads with a phishing site linked in it.
I have no idea how they got my account password.
Apologies for the trouble.
I changed my password right away when someone messaged me IRL.
Thanks a lot.
Also to those who tagged my account so everyone would be warned.
Thank you all.
Sincerely,
zenrol28
