It's an address posted by Subbir years ago in 2019.

I checked and verified it by myself. Now you will have to wait for account recovery processing from forum moderator.

But he already signed a message in the Op, and someone already verified it, what other message signing are you talking about or you had oversight?

Meanwhile, signing message is not necessarily with the first bitcoin address used in the forum, it is any address that transacted in the forum prior the case being treated.

Follow the instructions in this link, and you'll get your account back.

But I'm curious about this:

Account seems to be hacked. Was posting malware infected wallet software

I can understand why the red-tag was given, the archived post looks very suspicious.  Regardless, it seems that Rizzrack and his tag are misinformed.

The software in the reference link is mining software, not wallet software.  The archive shows the post has links that point to some files in a github repository which VirusTotal says are clean: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/4dc7e76394c5bf3166331cc2f430d58736bb463e460b549444f52be90a7bb9a2?nocache=1

It would be better to have the raw files available for review in the github repository without having to download anything.

OP, three things are getting complicated already with your complaint regarding your account.

Your email used over the account was hacked already and this is one of the means to recover back your account when you go through the process that has been highlighted from the link above.

Secondly, the same forum account was also hacked, and this shows that you might have been careless in handling sensitive information regarding your account or sharing your device with others.

Lastly, that same account of yours that was hacked seems to already have a bad history that led to the tag on it, which shows that there is more to discover regarding the account itself, either before or after the hijacking took place.

In short, your account was locked for posting what was assumed to be malware. This cases are usually hard to resolve. You have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that your account was hacked and the person who hacked it is the one who posted the malicious links

Based on what DireWolfM14, you could also contest that the links that were posted were not malicious judging from the feedback that was left on your profile. But it may take a lot of time and persistence.

Your account was used for some bad activities, also it received one neutral and one negative rating. Although the negative tag was given by normal user, according to the reference your tag is still valid.

Can you tell us exactly how many years ago or in which year your account was hacked? Because this will help us understand how long your account was being used by the hacker.

For your information, Rizzrack is no "normal" user though. He has a few privileges that usual forum members do not have

The problem is that the reference used in the red tag does not show or explain to us how links to the software share by OP's account were actually malicious. He just linked to the archived post and that was it.

We have seen theymos use IP to connect accounts to each other when there was suspicion of links. It can be useful here to prove that there was a change in address during the period the op claims the account was hacked. While it is not conclusive evidence, it can substantiate the argument.

I don’t actually know the real reason, I’m not sure what exactly happened with my account. I was away from home and didn’t have my device with me. I discovered that my email had been hacked, but despite my efforts, I was unable to recover it. I had given my device to a service center, and it was shortly after that that my ID was hacked.

I cannot see the login history for my account, but theymos or the moderators will be able to see it.

Yes, but since the account is currently out of my control, could you perhaps offer some advice or suggestions to help me recover it?
