You had to receive notification to your email, where you able to lock account by clicking link. If you will lock account, hacker will be not able to access it, participate in signature campaigns and make more damage. As user above posted, follow instruction from sticked topic and then Cyrus will restore your account if you will prove that you're original owner (account recovery sometimes can took much time, because Cyrus is very bussy with many other hacked account recovery rewuests and he also have much more stuff to do).

Aloha Familee my bitcointalk account 'newsilike' has recently been compromised and I didn't see the Mail-Adress-Change-Notification of the 29.11.2017 in time.

Now someone is trying to make money via signature campaigns etc. pp.

Perhaps I can prove ownership of the forum account signing a message of one of the BTC addresses I had saved in my profile back in the day.

I am a member since 2013 so it has been a while without changing the password I gotta admit.

To prevent further damage I would either like to get the account back or - have it deleted.

Thanks for helping out, greatly appreciated!

You'll need to follow the steps in this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545

Take a look around and see if you can find a post with your BTC address. You'll need it to be from
before the account was hacked. You can reference back to it to prove your the owner of the account.

If you need help signing a Message look here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345

Hopefully a Mod will see this and they can help get the account locked, until you get it back.

Goodluck!!!
