Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

P.S.: That IP address is from the United Kingdom. I am based in central Europe.

How did you come up with the UK? On every site it's showing as a French IP.

If he made a mistake of using your email to register on that exchange check if maybe you can use it to reset the password. That would be a sad day for that hacker.

Someone hacked your account or knows your account password.
You can recover your account if you stake a bitcoin address and make a sign message to prove that you own that account.
check this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545

If you don't stake your bitcoin address anywhere here in forum it would be hard to recover your account back.

Thank you.

Another interesting note. While searching the spam section of my mail I came upon this. Its from 22/3.

Dear Okurkabinladin,

Your Bitcoin Forum (bitcointalk.org) email address was just changed from [email protected] to [email protected] by IP address 188.165.146.195. If you did not do this, then you can visit the following link within 14 days in order to lock the account:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=seclock;u=166543;t=1521880874;o=cG9sYWNlay5taWNoYWVsQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D;n=cG9sYWNlay5taWNoYWVsQGdtYWlsLmMzb20%3D;c=asuBV71uLtOh0BYU6CmqgNvdrUMZWEhebsbjkFxPDUo%3D

Note that you will NOT be asked for your password at that URL.

Regards,
The Bitcoin Forum Team

Of course, I locked it down afterwards. Any suggestions on the meaning of this? Or motivations behind such ruse ?

I havent logged into that account for weeks.

P.S.: That IP address is from the United Kingdom. I am based in central Europe.
