But I have a feeling this might not be enough...
As long as the address was posted by that account publicly or sent via a personal message then it will  be enough. I believe staff members have confirmed they accept ETH addresses. The link to the spreadsheet probably isn't going to be enough. You'll need a unedited post by the hacked account which is on this forum. If it's been deleted by the hacker then let the admin team knows what thread it was in and they can check that.

Thanks for the reply.

This is one of my addresses that has been sent through/used in personal messages

Hey everybody

My account https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/sensimilia-381837  has been compromised.

I once registered with a gibberish email address something like [email protected] and never thought about it no more until today.
Today I see my pass has been reset by email, and the domain is claimed by some russian guy. (he didnt have to change the email address at all of course)

He removed the wallet address in my profile already. But kept the sig and avatar.
I don't really know if I ever posted a btc address anywhere.
Several of my posts have been deleted.

However this is an address I have used in pm

I can sign any other address that has been used in pm or in deleted posts as well.

I can also sign messages from eth addresses from previous campaigns or projects I participated in.

But I have a feeling this might not be enough...
