I'm not sure who he is exactly or who you spoke to, his IP's are Russian and he at least claims to have hacked some big name Bitcoin figures. He showed me his wallet addess as proof. I don't know for a fact but I doubt he's some stupid kid. Also, my security is not trivial and he used sophisticated scripts. Again, he could be some kid, I jsut don't know.

I had a convo with him as well. He's in high school. A 17 year old kid outside of Cali. Not very bright nor particularly skilled.

 1. I had a conversation with the hacker and he claims he social engineered his way into my account. Im not sure how much I believe him but I have gone through all my machines with a fine tooth comb and so far they come up clean so that let's me think that perhaps he is telling the truth. EIther way I'm wiping everything and reinstalling my operating systems from scratch.
You should lie in your security questions for the email attached to your Bitcointalk account.

I meant he social engineered his way into my email account and then hacked Bitcointalk from there, NOT that he social engineered BitcoinTalk.
That's what I meant.

My question(s) will be in the open.

How was the hacker able to get a hold of your account?

How were the admins able to so quickly rectify the situation and give you back control of your account when it took DAYS for Tom Van Riper to offer up proof before he got control of his account again? I'm sure it was a hell of lot easier for Tom to prove who he was then for you.

Hi Smiley,

   1. I had a conversation with the hacker and he claims he social engineered his way into my email account and then hacked BitcoinTalk from there. Im not sure how much I believe him but I have gone through all my machines with a fine tooth comb and so far they come up clean so that let's me think that perhaps he is telling the truth. EIther way I'm wiping everything and reinstalling my operating systems from scratch.
  
   2. I can't speak for the admins but perhaps it has to do with the fact that, as far as I have been told, the hacker went around telling everyone that he had hacked my account. I also had two recent interactions with the admins before my account was hacked which may have suggested to them I was telling the truth. Finally, Theymos had me sign a message from my OTC registered address. I want to take the opportunity and thank the admins for helping me out like they did.

Pablo.

I would like to apologize to everyone on this thread, my account was hacked and the hacker started the discussion here.

I would strongly encourage anyone who clicked on anything he may have linked you to or sent you to consider your system compromised. Do not rely on standard anti-malware or firewall protection with this guy.

If anyone has any questions, please just PM me.

Pablo.

That is the most fake looking thing I have ever seen, you know that I make several email accounts with fake information posted all over it to prevent people doing this sort of thing to me? If whoever Satoshi Nakamato is invented Bitcoin then he'll have been smart enough to recognise a creepy stalker would try and find out where he was and trick them into thinking he's in a country very far away from where he actually is or is extremely inhospitable. More recently the folks operating piratebay managed to fool people into thinking they had servers in North Korea.

And yes, I'm calling you out for being a creepy stalker because no one else would go to those kind of lengths to try and track someone down, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make an email account that makes people think I'm in Afghanistan if they look it up after I register to websites.

I've just typed both of his email addresses in the "forgot password" field of the forums and it came back as no account existing, so the email address for the Satoshi account currently in the DB is different.

A mail has been sent to your email address. Click the link in that mail to set a new password.

The yahoo works fine for me o.o

When you try to pull of a shenanigan, better do it a bit more professionally. Satoshi 's forum handle is "satoshi", no capitalization of the initial.

You're an idiot, look at the dump, capitalization doesn't matter.


Hahaha, all the other luminaries' account names are correctly spelled.

And guess what I have found:

15808,Satoshi_Nakamoto,[email protected],$1$2y78fc.6$Ykkf99VOvG3w2vwNZaJpK0

Now, try to find this account profile on this forum.

Do you know he can be a satoshi fan?

I don't think satoshi is stupid,he will never use his Surname as his nick/alias on net.


Look at another satoshi in that log file
