Dear users,
please be informed that bitcointalk.org owner/owners sell or use or abuse or being hacked or I dont know what ...(users passwords)
My experiences:
I used same password to this nickname and my email address, and as I use gmail, when someone trys to log in to your email from another IP you will get message.
I get such messages like 10 times.
What does this means ? That means that someone knew my password and as I had same password on bitcointalk and gmail only, that means that bitcointalk.org owner/owners sold some passowrds (or all passwords) or abuse them or just being hacked several times.
Very poor for website, which is number one in btc community (by visists) and very poor customer support from owners, who are not able to remove fucking trust system which is abused every day.

Please take a moment to realize how absurd your accusation is. Let's not even discuss the claim, which is beyond dubious at best, and focus on the fact that you have almost no evidence to support it. Has it occurred to you that there are other ways someone might be able to have obtained your password? It isn't even clear from your post whether they successfully accessed your account or merely attempted to do so.

Except in some well-documented cases of provider stupidity, lost passwords are almost always caused by the users themselves. Either they fell for some phishing attack, or they connected to the password-protected service without proper precautions. If you use any transport mechanism that might be susceptible to eavesdropping or MITM attacks (such as public wifi hotspots, Tor exit nodes etc.) you need to be extra careful with the SSL stuff. Never accept newly presented certificates in such a situation! Another possibility (especially when using Windows as OS, and when trying out altcoin wallets from dubious sources) is that you caught some keyboard logging malware.

How much do you want to invest ? 10-30 btc is good . However crycurex-support I suggest you to turn off your pc and go read a book.

I have never experienced such things. You are just making false accusations without any evidence. Not only Theymos know your password, if your computer have malware, the owner of the malware installed on your computer knows about it too. The person trying to log in may just be some script kiddy trying to brute force your email.

If the forum is the "leak" of your gmail password then the attacker is your ISP (or VPN if you use one). If you are using the same password across multiple sites then I think it is safe to assume that you did not change your password after you were advised to do so. I am not 100% sure if gmail was affected by POODLE The POODLE vulnerability in TLS/SSL could have allowed a man-in-the-middle attacker to read encrypted forum traffic. For example, Tor exit nodes could have used this attack against anyone using Tor to access the forum. I disabled SSLv3 to prevent this attack in the future, and I logged everyone out to invalidate any possibly-compromised cookies. If you used a proxy or ISP that you don't absolutely trust to access the forum, then you should also change your password.
Most other sites are similarly affected.

If I were you, I would rather check my computers for malware and check if I received a phishing email recently. I would then change my password and don't use the same password on any two sites.

"sells users passwords", "tries to log in"...
Unless these criminals can't copy paste passwords correctly, NOPE.

You are doubtful there, your thread is saying something else that you don't know what the real issue is "or use or abuse or being hacked" yet you made a bold statement saying that forum sells them sounds foolish to me.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=312901My recommendation would be the immediate closure of Bitcointalk pending further investigation into the shocking exposé by this highly trusted man.
