What is going on???

If you are typing your seed then type it offline. Even better after setting up the seed, reset the windows to make it a new computer.

 

In a future where OpenAI implants blockchain enabled pacemaker wallets, and decrease your balance in time, being able to to buy/trade/scam bitcoin will be literal life or death.

I know about haveibeenpwned website but this website is not showing each individual email address that was pwned, just websites with leaks and dates.
Knowing who is behind open.ai I would never use their tool for anything nor would I ever trust them

I think you are missing something basic here - Most data on that site is all pulled from public pastebin dumps by hackers -

115,766 pastes
228,881,584 paste accounts

Also, whoever owns it obviously has all the emails, not to mention the other sites out there aggregating similar data like this.

Youre dodging the question.  Why do you have a persistent habit of lying?  Specifically, your use of a VPN to access this forum.  Have you become so bold as to believe that your government can no longer track you?

And, all the promises you made last year were just empty words?

So I just want to apologize to all forum members that I have lied about something. I was afraid that my account will get banned, and I won't be able to access this forum again.

I promise to all the mods that this won't happen in the future. Please don't ban me. I am really sorry. Again!

I am avoiding because there's no point in saying anything. Whatever I say you will blame all on me. So go on then.
Haven't used VPN for 3 months because I moved out from my old house and now using a new wifi. Also my subscription ran out. So i thought i won't use it.

Now you will say i am making up stories. I have said that i moved out from my old place. Go search that on my profile too.
But yeah. You'll blame me again so I'm just gonna ignore you. There's no point. I have already submitted all the proof and I don't think i need to give that proof to you....

Dm sent to people i thought i can trust. It ain't you buddy.sorry.

I have noticed several accusations that they have not asked me for any loan but they have not changed their password. Unfortunately, I have accepted one of them. I am worried about the access of those accounts without changing the password. How is the hacker processing like this?

Case 1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5459055
Case 2: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5478004.msg63344637#msg63344637
Case 3: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030169.msg63440375#msg63440375
I think there might be many more though I can't remember and do not know how many people are facing problems like this. And how long we may keep safe ourselves.

Stop ask others, make your own research so you don't regret your decision. Now when mixers are banned I am positive many people will try a exit scam. If I was you I should pause all loans for like 2-4 months and take a break.
Trust me it will save you from losing money and then you will see who still is left and are real, and the fake one's will be gone by then.

Good luck Sashan with your service.

Most of you were asking about the legitimacy of my claims and whether my account was hacked or not. Here is some research I did based on my profile's IP address from which my account was accessed.
This is the list of IP addresses with dates:

This is the service I found after doing some research and you can check that out.
https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/185.220.100.253


I have checked all the IPs with this link to see and all of them were the same. Either SQL injection, web attack or Brute force. They are all related to the same thing.


I have done the same thing by connecting a VPN and this is the result.




This is my actual IP address which shows a similar report to VPN. (some parts are hidden for privacy reasons)




This is my IP address when I use mobile data to access the forum.



All the data are collected from my profile's data log for logged-in IPs. @BitcoinGirl.Club, @nutildah can confirm this as I have provided video proof in their dm.

I have also shared the same thing with @shasan too.

I have provided everything from my side after doing my own research but if you don't trust me, you can check that on your own if you like.

And one more thing I want to say here. @JollyGood, you have recently given me a red tag for something I did 1 year ago. I have lied which is 100% true and for that, I have publically apologised to everyone and asked for a 2nd chance. @yahoo62278 sir can confirm that. I have also talked with him personally about the issue. He didn't forgive me but gave me a warning that if I do something similar in the future, he will change his neutral tag to a negative tag. So if I may ask, is it possible to make your tag neutral as well, please? I am just doing some signature campaigns and building up my reputation. It's not about the signature campaign either. I have a reputation here. Not much but whatever I have is at stake right now. I have been kicked out of the campaign for your red trust.
I asked for a 2nd chance and I did not do anything wrong. I was desperate just because someone close to me was dying. I just asked for help in this forum. And instead of helping, you guys have dragged me here and accused me of something that I did not do.

After the merit incident, all I have done is good. I have not done anything wrong. If you keep on doing this to me after giving all kinds of proof, then this is the end of my journey here in this forum.
I am just trying to be here with you guys. Maybe I get some money from doing signature campaigns. But that's not a crime. I am doing my job and getting paid for that. And you guys are just trying to take that away from me.
Well if you are happy with that then I have nothing to say.

Hope others can find some kind of solution from this who are also wrongly accused.

[pakhitheboss]

Teleporting an account from Bitcointalk to Altcoinstalks, and using a same password. It breaks an important principle, don't reuse password on different platforms.

A small question if someone teleported their account but does not log out can this issue happen? What I understand is that if a user is logged in continuously it is not that easy for a scammer to hack the account as they would first need to hack the email account. I do not think changing the password will help anyone and I do understand that by using free VPNs you can get an IP address from Europe. I am not pointing any fingers at anyone what I am asking and suggesting is simple logic.

I am using the VPN now and will update you with a screenshot if I am correct you might be able to see the same IP address. Although there is no guarantee as to how the IPs will show up. Free VPNs do not give special protection as paid VPNs. I am now using the US and tomorrow I will be using Germany, as I have said earlier I am not pointing fingers at anyone. It is just a try to substantiate someone's claim and if everything goes well it would be proved.

[digaran]

What I don't understand, what is the correlation between tjtonmoy' case of getting hacked with something he did a year ago for him to get tagged now?

[yahoo62278]

In my opinion, if someone didn't scam and steal money, they can be forgiven for just about anything. Anything that the forum doesn't deem illegal anyways. So, whether Jollygood wants to give you a 2nd chance is up to him, but don't try to force him by saying well so and so gave me a warning. Ask and respect the decision. It may or may not go the way you wish, but that's what you have to deal with.

[ineedhelpplease]

I feel sorry for you, I remember a month ago you were also scammed by another con artist using these forums. And that person looked legitimate as well. Personally I wouldn't continue loaning out money to these complete strangers online after all these horrifying experiences.

I am not forcing anyone, sir. And sorry to bring up your name here. I asked him politely through DM and he didn't reply to me yet. Maybe he's busy so I thought to bring that topic to the public.
As I said, if someone feels like I don't deserve a 2nd chance, then so be it. I will stop my journey here.
Thank you for your response.

[Shishir99]

Okay!, I didn't notice this thread before. My suggestion to Shasan bro, you should always ask users to confirm by signing a message with their Bitcoin wallet or they should confirm in another way. It is your responsibility to check who is taking the loan. Or at least you should check if they have used the same address before or not. The account getting compromised is nothing new here.

Look, you didn't have to reply to every one of them once they wrote. You don't have to show too much respect and call them sir. Only answer when it's too necessary.
@JollyGood, I guess I have always agreed with you in the past. But, the tag you left to tjtonmoy isn't worth it. The reference you gave is one year old and a neutral would have fit better. I would say; don't make the negative tag worthless. Leaving negative feedback for merit abuse isn't the correct use of the feedback system. I am not sure If he had many accounts or if he cheated with those accounts. If he has, then do your own investigation gather the proof in one place, and then leave a negative tag. Your tags are losing value over time. Don't make yourself another TL. Don't take it as a weapon to take down others. Just a friendly advise.

[BabyBandit]

I must say, I'm one of the victims.

My passwords have not changed for more than 2-3 years, I have discussed this with my friends as well for these cases. The possibility for my case is by:
- Reused password.
- The password getting leaked due reused password.
- Saved password (google) getting leaked (my friend says).

I have not done anything regarding bitcointalk and discussions with strangers for the past month.
Based on the hacker requesting a loan, seems like they're overview activity from the original owner. I checked my Bitcointalk IP, I have 4 activities and the first one on (18th December). at that time I still had a loan of around 300$ with shasan, I and him have a successful loan with 7-10+ of course with the same address.

I finished my loan more early, paid all back on 30th December. Then, the hacker had activity yesterday 3-4x times and requested a loan with the 300$ (the most amount can pay, around 300-400$) mark.

Luckily shansan knew the address differently and rejected the loan.

IP Log from My Account
Yesterday

I change my password after these 2x time to make sure + add my account with 2FA as well.

~
I looked at examples you posted and I would not fully trust what those members are saying.

Exactly. Just because someone claims their account was hacked doesnt mean its true. That tjtonmoy character looks particularly suspicious. He has a history of lying and cheating in contests and bounties. I do not believe in his story.

FatFork's proof shows OP's isn't honest. He hasn't posted after FatFork's post. He's said he doesn't know how to ask for loans. He didn't tell why he's asked $450 USDT before this topic. Why'd he send MRI scans on telegram in private if he's begging in forum he should've posted them here.OP's deleted the $450 loan post trying to remove proof after Shasan's rejected it. He's changed his bitcoin payment address for eloncoin sig campaign. His password's changed to This user changed his/her password recently.. There's hole in his story.I don't believe OP's story. I don't want to offend ppl who believe him but OP's 2023 trust says he isn't honest so I'll say he's a liar.

Do you want me to share my bank details here too? Come on man grow up. I am not in the mood to talk about this now. I am not sure myself yet how that happened so I did some research. You should too before pointing fingers at someone. I recently teleported my account in altcoinstalks. I was required to put the same username there too. So I used the same password there as well. And I can say for sure that that was the reason why my account was compromised. I will just leave a picture with all it IP addresses from which my account was accessed. I have blurred my personal IP address for my own privacy reasons. If you think that they are forged, give me a dm and I will show live proof with a video too. But you need to be at least a hero or legendary member. I did not also get any notification on ninjastic space tg notification bot for any mentions otherwise I would have known before. Thanks, FatFork for your investigation otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it and I would've been in a very bad situation. Also thanks Royse777 for reaching out to me and asking for proof. I gave him the evidence through inbox because I trust him. I will not be sharing any of my info publicly.

READ FULL POST HERE: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5478004.msg63344637#msg63344637

I have shared non-blurred ip address screenshot with shasan too... If you want to know then you can ask him.

With all respect but this is on you both and not anyone else.This can easy be changed by using a VPN so what I see is two users trying to fool people that they didn't do it. and ALSO This is so easy to fake and I could do it in less then 10 minutes in paint.
With that said I don't say you're lying but its for sure YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOUR ACCOUNT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE IT SECURE! I just saying posting this and call it proofs is just bullshit and not any proof at all.
Scammers always do this, using fake slip and things I have no idea how many times same thing happen me o when I see this I only think negative and trust your less.

But even if it wasn't you that took the loan it's still your account and your responsibility. Often in this cases it's someone close to you that did this (if it wasn't you) a hacker don't just log in with your password, someone have stolen it because you have been careless or trusted wrong person. In my opinion this is on you and nobody else. So this is not even something to discuss, take your damn responsibility.

Notice: I don't say you're are lying or are a scammer. I just pointing out real proofs. What you posted is not proofs at all and If you would be more careful this would never happen. So conclusion? It's YOUR FAULT.
So pay back the money, take the loss as a human, and learn from the mistake and be more careful in the future and come back stronger. We are not kids here.

Example: If you visit a website that is unsafe and they steal your information and steal your login information to Bitcointalk and then take a loan, then it's your fault and nobody else's. You both need to be smarter and more careful.
And yes, I feel sorry for you both. I understand this sucks big big time, but it's nothing else to do then pay back and after that move on. It's called life.


And also @Sashan I see some people say you should ask for signed message, I don't know how that works but if that can make a end of this shit, you should start using that, its a win/win for everyone but most important for you! Or just stop lend out money to dishonest cunts. I feel sorry for you and I hope you recover, I hate when nice people like you get used by poor cunts that are to lazy to earn their own money. Stay strong! 🙏


EDIT: Now ryzaadit explained the situation and thank you for that ryzaadit I apologize if I was to fast to post but I just wanted to be as clear as possible but still. Your account your responsibility
Good Peanutstar paid back the money, that shows he is a human that know how to behave respect to you Peanutstar! Also good that the "scammer" did not success to get a loan from your account ryzaadit.
My message was nothing personal to anyone of you, I just wanted to point out the word "responsibility".
But also, this is your words even that I believe you now it could also be a possibility that you tried to use another address and that Peanutstar regret the scam attempt and paid back instead, right?
But I don't think so for now, now I trust you and what you just said, it sounds logic. I just saying it could be a possibility. How ever, thank you for explaining and have a good week.
And for what it's worth after you explained as I said previous I trust what you just said it sounds logic and honest IMO.


But if this (Sign-Message) can pretend this, why not always do this before pay out a loan? or maybe it does not work anyway? or maybe he do it all the time? As I understand if you use same address no need to do it, but if you use a new address or loan for the first time this is or at least should be number one rule?

[Doan9269]

I have noticed several accusations that they have not asked me for any loan but they have not changed their password. Unfortunately, I have accepted one of them. I am worried about the access of those accounts without changing the password. How is the hacker processing like this?

The challenge here is not about changing the password to that account that necessarily matters first, this hackershave developed more strong resistance that could make them hack and yet make it appear they didn't, the easiest way for them to do so is by having access to the device we are using to browse or access the forum, then they try to use our same logins details already backed up on the google and copy them to log in, two of them will be using the account together, the user will not be suspecious because he's still having access to the account, but attrocities like loan, spamming, or change of wallet address could be initiated by the hackers on the user's behalf, we have to watch well all our devices and avoid any third party access on them.

[ryzaadit]

-snip-

@Peanutstar case has been solved, he paid back the money. Meanwhile, for me, the scammer failed to get the loan due to the address change. I with @Shansan already have multiple successful loans around 150-300$ not only with him but also with @Darkstar_. The sign message is the simplest thing to prove the ownership of your account, however, you need to (Stake) your address first (Unless the hacker compromises your address and is being used for the stake) I can tell the fault is on you.
----
None of us want these happening, this business requires both sides. Usually, the lender will ask you to (Sign Message) at the time you ask loan (If this is your first time requesting a loan). Then, If you ask for a loan again with the lender (As long you use the same address you're using from the previous loan) they will not ask you to (Sign-Message) again (Unless) is changed. Well, the hacker asked with his fresh address not the same address I was using with Shansan so he declined the request unless he can make some sign message to prove the request was by the real owners who asking loan with a different address.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

In my opinion, if someone didn't scam and steal money, they can be forgiven for just about anything. Anything that the forum doesn't deem illegal anyways.

In addition red tags are for failed trade, you covered the proven scam thing anyway.

Ask and respect the decision. It may or may not go the way you wish, but that's what you have to deal with.

How many inappropriate feedback you will need to see before you make the decision that it's enough with the respect? You are not supporting the reason for the red feedback but you are fine with having JollyGood on your trust list.

[shasan]

Teleporting an account from Bitcointalk to Altcoinstalks, and using a same password. It breaks an important principle, don't reuse password on different platforms.

If the hack happened for using the same password and teleporting the account then only the admin/moderators of that site may know the password. If the hack happened for teleport then the scammer is the admin/moderator. Though I do not know who is the admin/moderator and whether they have any intention to be a hacker or not I think they won't do this. I think the hack might have happened for another reason not for using the same password. One more important fact is that others happened same the hacker (which they said) those are not confirmed about the using of same password.

I also don't know actually who's the admin of that forum and where is he from but I don't think that he would do something like this. Their forum is getting more users each day and most of the users of this forum are already on that forum, that's why they would never do something that would harm their reputation. I think that tjtonmoy used same password on multiple platforms and that can be the reason for his account getting compromised.

I believe that tjtonmoy also created a post where he shared some information about databases where his IP address was found. And, I believe if that's true then his accounts on other platforms might be at risk because hackers often share such databases with other users who can easily copy the details and login with those details. Most of the members aren't aware of such things but that's happening.

It's not a good practice to use the same passwords on different platforms and the one who does that often gets targeted by the hackers. It's always better to use different passwords for different platforms and one should also enable 2FA if it's present. During my research I have also found that some people use their e-mail's original password on other platforms but they don't know that they can easily lose all of their accounts on other platforms if an hacker successfully get logged in to their e-mail accounts.

You have guessed the perfect way to be such a hacker if it really happened. Also, there might be another reason if his laptop/computer/mobile phone is used by his friends then the occurrence might happen by one of his friends who does not require anything change.

[LoyceV]

If the hack happened for using the same password and teleporting the account then only the admin/moderators of that site may know the password.

I read the word "teleporting" several times, and it turns out to be something offered by a shitcoin forum. Are people dumb enough to share their password with them for extra "perks"? If so, that's not even a hack, it's just giving it away.

It's not a good practice to use the same passwords on different platforms

Don't be subtle: it's stupid
Get a password manager, don't store your password database in the cloud, and make regular backups. It takes a while to set up and change passwords for everything, but it's worth it.

if his laptop/computer/mobile phone is used by his friends then the occurrence might happen by one of his friends who does not require anything change.

That's why computers have user accounts. Nobody uses my account, but I don't mind creating new accounts for friends. There's no need to give others access to your data.
