If this account was hijacked. How did you gain access to it so fast?
LOGS, EMAILS
The attacker never gained access to the dev email account, so I reset the password with an SMS message. Then I attempted the reset the pass on bitcointalk, but the email had been changed. So i asked the rogue guy in IRC if i could have the pass back, and surprisingly he gave it, but we are still locked out of the original github because of his 2FA.
Here is the email to github support and the emails we got when he attacked:
Hi, I have a cryptocurrency repo and have it hosted on your site.
One of our members went rogue and took over our forum account and this github.
I still control the email so i changed the password.
ccryptcoin user on github. my old password was ---------------------
i also connect to your server from the same IP as --------------------- github user.
They have added SSH keys and 2fa authentication to the account and I cannot recover it.
Please, can you fix this for me. If you need to contact me call ------------------------
Thank you.
