Something odd going on - obviously someone or ones is targeting lending. Confirmations by pm's recommended. Nice that you were able to cover the debt, but yu shouldn't have had to.

I agree with Patrick, I took the risk here. Sending PM.

How does Pm's help ? If the fake user answers the pm its the same shit... unless you know some secret information of his ( grandmas maiden name...) and ask him I guess the 5% a day interest should have been a big warning...

If the fake user answers the pm its the same shit... unless you know some secret information of his ( grandmas maiden name...) and ask him I guess the 5% a day interest should have been a big warning... Even a five-minute delay could prevent the kind of fraud which occurred in the OP. Most users have PMs sent to their email account. If user is online, and is notified of emails, it's possible he could intervene to prevent similar fraud. It's unlikely to help, but it's a very easy way to help prevent similar problems. Though, I'm curious as to how the OP had his account hijacked. ETA: Also worth noting many loans aren't funded for a good few hours, sometimes days. Real owner may have control of the account again, perhaps've contacted the admin. However, it appears this situation was due to poor password management.... we're over-reacting a bit, I think, unless something like what happened in OP becomes more frequent.

Would be a good idea to sticky something.
If an account is hacked, any of the info or settings could be changed so I'll definitely tread a little more carefully in the future. Lesson learned, thankfully a small one.

well you can check my signature line now. If you go to that link in it to my external site that has my btc address signed via gpg. So if any more loan requests come from me only send it to that address or to an address signed by me.

That's no use. If someone can post under your name, they can change your signature. We should ask theymos what's going on here.

Yup, sig thing won't be much good either like copumpkin mentioned.
Would be a pain, but maybe you should reformat your computer, install an anti-virus on it right away, then sign in and change your password and stuff up.

A scammer could easily generate a new key and sign messages with that. There need to be write-once fields in one's forum profile to set a key identity so nobody can change it after taking control of your account ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Of course, depending on how badly compromised the forum gets, they could just change the field in the database and we'd be screwed either way. This is why we need a strong crypto-based decentralized loan/reputation system ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

My point is that the attacker can change your sig to point to another key on the same external site that's under his control, instead of yours. Or he could just change your sig to not point to a key at, and I doubt anyone would notice.
