There is no way to hack your bitcointalk account by using your public address.
As I said, I created the wallet using a website associated with them. I don't know, maybe I am being paranoid.

If you mean by using an address associated  with your forum account, then they would only be able to pose as you if they had the private keys or access to the address which they would then be able to sign.

I am asking because I just changed my btc address to deeponion wallet address, which is what they asked for the airdrop and sounded legitimate to me.
Since I reported my address to them, they now have that information. I did not give anyone my private key or anything (not that dumb) but since I created that on an affiliated site, they may know that as well.
Any ideas?
