Now that the account is locked, You need to send Cyrus a signed message to prove ownership.
If you did not already do this you can follow these directions:

You'll need to go back through some of your old posts and find a posted address from before the
account was stolen. They will need this to verify ownership of the account. If you need help signing
a message, check out this thread:

As long as you can do ALL of this someone can get it unlocked. It will take some time to do so.
I'm not a Mod, I'm just helping out. Goodluck!!!

So my account on bitcointalk was hacked on 17/12. The email was changed to "@lf.xx".
The owner made a post in Turkish or something..and I locked the account.
Now I wonder, how do I get it back, is there any way?

Or is it lost..... I tried emailing support, no reply.
I PM'd Cyrus yesterday but also no reply.
