All accounts from 2012 or 2013, all about 20 posts, and all caught my attention by applying in my giveaway thread without having any clue how it works (in other words: they didn't read at all).
Since these old accounts all suddenly start posting, I assume they are the same person and blacklist all of them from my giveaway.
And another 2012-account that suddenly starts posting without reading what it is about: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/iram9018-56659

Doesn't have to be a hacked account, the account could have also voluntarily changed hands (ie account selling)
Maybe. But considering they all behave exactly the same, I think they're all owned by the same person now.

It was unfortunate the leak ever happened in the first place, but we should all just keep watch for these zombie accounts and report them as soon as any suspicious activity is reported to here. A thread should really be made just for these specific accounts, but just being wary is the best prevention. Scroll through their posts, ask for a signed message when dealing with them. Doing all the required steps for security will work 99% of the time, as long as you're doing all of the things you should be doing. Always use escrow.

Lately there has been a lot of selling of accounts in the auctions or digital goods section. When I browse those section I see that the majority are low UID which means old accounts from 2011-2013. I too believe the account may have changed hand.

Why would the hacker bother hacking an account with only 32 post and Jr.Member ?
Why? Because those are the only targets left, really. The data leak preceded a warning by theymos to change passwords and thus all the current accounts would have new passwords (at least they should) and thus the older and more inactive accounts which haven't seen the message are most susceptible to the leak

Exactly. Accounts that haven't changed their passwords since the hacks remain at highest risk.

Maybe they are all hacked accounts. It is very fishy, those accounts suddenly be back due to bitcoin pump? Maybe they sold btc sub 100 usd many years ago.

I noticed one too: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nor9847-58589

When I got the warning email about the hack, I didn't change my password, as it's strong enough to withstand brute force for eternity. I did change it today, after al the warnings about hacked accounts.

Scammer ZOOMER on talking about other potential scammers HA HA HA HA
Some of the best scam busters here may turn out to be the worst scammers here themselves in future.

They know all the tricks and could easily determine which ones work best.
You should always use escrow for deals but now you must be careful that the user you are dealing with is not also self escrowing, it's a crazy world this forum.

Comes back after 3 years from where?

You don't provide much proof or any details to back up your claim.
It is strange that he was not active for 3 years but not unbelievable.

I am 100% sure that this is all about this topic :

100% him because he is angry i said je shall not be on dt if he think to sell it

I never said the account was for sale, not a clue who you are but i'd suggest stop pointing the fingers at random people because of your scamming. Do honest business because in the long run it won't come around and bite you in the ass.

Go ahead and report it because it's not my account, before you start harassing people get your facts straight.

We will see Wink

He's default trust so if he was hacked Theymos would know about it.

Uh no.  theymos isn't omnipotent, he doesn't keep track of all DT users' activity and an IP change after 3 years of inactivity is not unusual.  Tho I do agree that the negative feedback might have valid reason behind it.

Like he said I'm sure it's an alt of someone that got the bad end of the stick by one of your netflix deals. I know a few members that have alt DT accounts that they don't use other than for purposes like that. Try contacting the guy that claims you scammed him and resolve it and I am sure he will remove his feedback.
