Topic: Account hacked: Who do I need to contact (Read 539 times)
To ban ----> I guess all global moderators are able to do that but to un-ban (or to restore from a hack) you need to contact admin (theymos). but he is quite busy and it isn't easy to get him to read your message -actually doing something take allot more effort too-
To simplify the above, if you still have access to a BTC address that you have previously used in the forums, then you're all good.

Hmm not sure if I understand
"If you want me to recover a hacked/lost account, you need to prove that you own it. Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile."
Guessing I am screwed

You never posted or messaged a bitcoin address from that account (One that you still have access to)? I think that's all you need.

Theymos. Make sure you give him as much details as you can and you'll need to be able to sign an address that was previously linked to the account to prove ownership: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545
My main account was hacked. Who do I need to contact to gain access to that account?
