Topic: FYI: Stolen Account (Read 1256 times)

I confirm that i am the rightful owner of Razick.

1. I legitimately took the account after a 0.16 BTC loan was defaulted on by the original owner: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.20576006

2. The original owner is being intentionally deceptive by trying to trick the mods into thinking i asked to delete the old post from 2015 because "hacking".

Yes, i beat around the bush as to why i asked the post to be removed. "White lies" - i wasn't being maliciously deceptive, i was simply trying to protect the account as i foresaw something like this potentially happening where the old owner would attempt to "recover" the account, claiming it had been hacked.

That account was sold! Note, this is before buying and selling of accounts was prohibited. Here is the proof: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.20576006

They deleted all other messages regarding the sale, but they are not entitled to the account. It should be returned to the rightful owner.

You seemed chill about losing your account lmao

Hi and thanks for your understanding.  I would like to see a signature from a much earlier period than a wallet address specifically set up for reclaiming your account.  The reasoning is that if you were to have stored the wallet address PrivKey say on your BitCoinTalk account, or, an email service as a clear text, then the hacker would have that - could scam away then claim to have been hacked and dangle the signed message as proof.

There are other reasons from having reviewed your posts, but for now I won't say any more.

Are you able to sign a message (from one of the wallet addresses you used on a day-to-day basis pre hack) or not?

@guigui371 is now on ignore for the duration.

No animosity on my side, I just don't understand why you insist he signs a message from a wallet he doesn't have access to.

He has signed a message from an address posted in april 2015 in an unedited message (from april 2015) (he has done it 3 times)
If the administrators and the recovery team were happy with him using, why are you making it hard ?

it can't be quoted as "archived" and locked by OP.
Unedited message from April 2015

His message and signature have been verified by at least 3 persons (two members here with screenshots and the recovery team).
He has said at least twice that he doesn't have access to those random btc addresses from 2014.
Why the extra drama ?

You can inspect the links in your browser to double check where you are being directed before clicking.

At the end of the day, I can't make you change the feedback. It's your opinion and that's fine. However, can you answer for me why my pre-hack signature is not enough?

Thanks.

What part of:


Are you having trouble understanding?

What if he nolonger has access to PKs of those addresses? Will the negative feedback be maintained?

The fact that he signed from an early pre-hack address and also got the account recovered by the accounts recovery team (those people check even other things like changes in IP address patterns pre and post hack)  should be enough.

I have ever had my account hacked and i didn't even have a staked address and I know how painful the experience was despite my account being a low rank account at that time. We should be easy on him.

Hi again and thank you for getting back to me.


I can show you where the animosity is - it is right here in the very next post:

---

I have not said anything about leaving any kind of trust feedback.  You sent me a PM asking me to read this thread (which I have done), I have asked a question and you are endeavouring to answer it which I appreciate you taking your time so that you can answer that question.  As to the other recent posters, all I can suggest is that you don't feed the Trolls.

Let me point you to a message signed yesterday from  an address that was posted (in 2015) AKA 2 years before the hack (hack= sometimes in 2017).


CLICK HERE

AND THEN CLICK HERE

Most of those addresses were in an old blockchain wallet that I no longer have. I'll double check later to see if I can provide a signature, but that post IS from before the hack so I'm not sure what the issue is. Unless you believe my account was hacked twice and thus has been accessed by three different people, that post verifies that I am the legitimate owner.

I understand you are just being cautious, but I'm not quite sure why there seems to be some animosity. You can leave the negative trust if you wish. I just thought I'd ask.

Those wallet addresses are from Pre the hack.

Thanks for asking.


Because I was contacted by the OP, who no doubt values my option (as a non DT member of the forum's community   ) to provide an honest and unbiased appraisal of the information I have at hand.  Wallet address are sometimes sold with an account, hence let's see a signed message from a time prior to when the hack is supposed to have occurred.

Given the OP is in no hurry to remove the hackers posts (that and my original request was made back on the 30^th of April 2020), then I am also in no hurry.

Why do you want him to sign a message from those addresses?

he has already done it from an address posted in an unedited post from 2015

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/proof-of-address-ownership-razick-1vayzzw4u1pkqic2fjz7ayg8e1qdsnxcc-1028029


If it was good enough for the mods/admin of the forum, why is it not good enough for you?

I didn't even notice this.  Thanks for pointing that out.


I will again ask you to sign a message from one of these wallet addresses:


Please use this format:


I would also appreciate it if you could include today's date in the message.

Signature verified using Electrum



I also managed to verify it using Brainwallet: Verified.
So this should be good for a start.

EDIT: If you look at your screenshot, you entered the signature in the message box and the message in the signature box. That's why you can't verify it.


I was unaware of the hack until visiting the forum this year. I had not checked in during that time. I no longer have his signature (and obviously don't have the address he was getting payment at). The dates my account was hacked are in my signature (approx, based on last legitimate

I am able to verify my signature from Razick is my account https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/proof-of-address-ownership-razick-1vayzzw4u1pkqic2fjz7ayg8e1qdsnxcc-1028029 in Bitcoin Armory. Could you please try a different client to verify? Also note that for some reason, and I am sure I am doing something wrong, I cannot generate a valid signature block in the format you've requested. I'm using a bare QT signature. I'll post it in the same format as my post from 2015.

Note that the other users and the recovery team were able to verify my signature.

Here's a new one:

"I Razick am the sole owner of the address 1vayZZw4U1pKQic2FjZ7aYg8e1qDSNxCC. Today's date is 6/9/2020."

Signature: HEstMca7FsXTTzIj8xgQmKA2dW4gtMGXb9+6iAizcDRwk8ytf+DCZUXWjdHIR1WNl5CIOFRwzaTDvpWJ2x/Doz4=

Exclude quotes to verify message. Bare Signature (QT Compatible).

I was unaware of the hack until I visited the forum this year. I have removed the signature and replaced it with a warning about the dates the account was hacked. I would remove those posts, but clearly the hacker was in the business of quantity over quality. I don't have time at the moment to delete them, and some of them I am unable to delete due to the forums they were posted in. I'll post another signature as requested.

I was PM'ed by Razick today asking me to look at this thread.  I'd forgotten about this thread, but again ask Razick to read my previous reply back on the 30th of April.

I will also draw everyone's attention to the OP link:


Which reads:


I've tried to verify that message using https://jhoenicke.github.io/brainwallet.github.io/#verify and am unable to.



So like everyone else, why did you wait four years to come forward?  Are you going to delete the four years of posts so that you can't profit from "the hacker's" posts in signature campaigns, and, please sign a message as requested above.

How to sign a Message. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345 with today's date, your user name and one of the wallet addresses you used pre 2016 as listed above.

If the posts from your account that made members who left you feedback believe that you were cheating on signature campaigns  were made in the period when your account was hacked. Then it would be unfair for such feedback to be left on your profile even after recovery of your profile. 

What makes things complicated is that you didn't warn members here back then as soon as your account was hacked so it's hard to determine when hacker took over the account.
Maybe you should point out here when the account changed hands along with visible signs like change of posting pattern and also sign a message from an earlier address so as to convince members who left you negative feedback to reverse or remove it.

I don't stand by everything I said in the past. Like anyone who cares about the truth, my opinions, particularly political, have changed and evolved over time.

I was recently curious about how Bitcoin was doing because I don't really follow it, and saw someone scamming people under my account. That's my concern and why I recovered my account. I do apologize for the accidental spamming. I only intended to send one message but I was messaging multiple users and must have gotten you twice by mistake.

I have one Armory wallet and no, I unfortunately don't have PGP or access to those 10,000 addresses which I generated for.... well, I have no clue why. I think perhaps I was considering using the addresses for a web development project which would have used a new address for each transaction (obviously not the right way to do this). I still have my Rasperry Pi, but haven't used it in years.

I used the 1vay address for recovery because it's the one I signed years ago. If you read the hacker's posts, they are clearly a change in tone.

Yes, I did try my hand at a few failed businesses/hobbies, including TxT Paintball (paintball, not guns and ammo), fuel cards (which failed due to the site banning me due to fraud suspicious, which is understandable since I was buying large cards to send to other people's addresses. Note that I did fully refund the 1 person that sent money.

If you read the post about double spending, you'll see the attempted double spend was when I was trying to determine how to over-wright a stuck transaction (to get it to go to the person I originally sent it to). It eventually went through, and then the same seller scammed me on a subsequent transaction. I was not trying to commit fraud.

I have never hacked or attempted to hack anyone without their authorization. And I don't have the skills to do so successfully in most cases even if I wanted to. Finally, yes, I did earn $10,000 and sometimes less as a fast food worker during college. Is that so unique? I'm in the financial industry and earn a decent living now if that matters.

I'm not sure what your concern is, but obviously you don't buy my story. That's fine. Feel free to leave the negative trust if you if you like.

Was it necessary to send me the same PM TWICE one minute and twenty-six seconds apart?  Can you sign a message with today's date from one of these wallet addresses please?



but not one of these:

---

---

I see you've referenced PGP and have exchanged messages with other users here on BCT via PGP, do you still have those PGP keys?

---

---

I'm curious why you've modified some posts from three years ago in the last 24 hours?  Where have you been for the last three years to suddenly want to get this UID back?

How is your gun and ammo shop going in Houston?  (or those refill cards which are still on offer on another website) (or the rolls of USPS stamps?) 

I see one time you've admitted to attempting to double spend...  Not to mention your Raspberry PI Cold Storage, or your engraving service?  (and you're very knowledgable about attempting to hack email accounts) - (All the while earning just $10,000 P.A. in the fast food sector) 

...and do you stand by everything you wrote prior to when you claim your UID was hacked?  I.E. prior to 00:01 GMT 01/01/2017 ??

Glad to know that the recovery process was a success 
You can PM Coolcryptovator and inform him about the successful recovery so that he can remove the negative feedback. You can also inform TwitchySeal that during the time you account got the negative feedback, it had changed hands.

Account recovered, thanks all!

neither did I knew what the process was and just assumed the OP still doesn't have access to his account since his account recovery is still in queue. thanks for confirming by quoting theymos's post.



I see, thanks anyway!

It means OP's email was seen and that the recovery process has began. OP should be able to receive a couple of emails from the recoveries team with in the next few days.

Yes, you are right. I didn't know the process. I just found this post by Theymos.


So, the account should be unlocked 7 days later.

I don't think there is any other way to access that page.

I am not sure but aren't "ownership queued" means that the ownership of the account hasn't been transferred completely and the OP still do not have access to his account? anyway, how do can I access the security log beside putting seclog.php on the URL?

It seems that, the appeal has been accepted. Razick has already recovered his account.


Security log

Edit:
The OP is still in process of recovering his account. It has not finished yet.
Thank you acroman08.

His post has been now archived here http://archive.vn/wip/3J2OI
@actmyname I think nowadays they require only the original email to recover an account. I'm not sure about it but If I'm not mistaken...

Makes sense. We should, then, trust the verified step A of your archival message prior to that of the unverified step B of a supposed private key hack. Given the massive change in prose and post quality, I don't see any reason to grant disbelief to OP.

The hacker posted this because they do not have my wallet, I do. They wanted the original post deleted so that I would have no way of proving ownership of the account. I specifically posted my original signature in the archival thread “so that it couldn’t be deleted.”

My account had its email address changed and at that time i had no staked BTC address but thanks to the cryptios team i still managed to recover it. I emailed them using the original email address. They did some background checks and helped me.

I believe OP has a high chance of recovering his too.

quote from https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.22493546

So who posted this post? @op you? Or the hacker? I can understand it accurately. Facing something error in my head while reading the OP and this quoted post.  

Sorry for I can not quote the thread correctly because the thread is locked now.

It may not sound like a good option   I don't think someone will not change the account information after they hack successfully someone's account, especially email, it will definitely be changed immediately. The only safe thing is your Bitcoin wallet, or a few other similar wallets. Can we ever recover accounts from an old email that has been changed? It seems impossible, because we can not know what is the old email address of an account

Wish you regain your account soon with your beloved wallet 

Signature verified. I have added new feedback, PM me once you will have recovered your account.

Now all you need for recover account is your original email address which was used during registration of forum account. You have to send PM to recovery team from registered mail address. Hope your account will recover soon, best of luck for you.

I don't, BUT, I found my old wallet!

You can still try to recover your account using the new and quicker method than the previous one if you have access to your old email address with which you used for registering the account.  Just follow the instructions. If you don't have an old staked address, don't worry,  just try your luck.

The trust page shows some negative trust feedback in 2017 and 2018 so I doubt on the legit of the account. Have you ever tried to recover your account since 2018?

If you are real owner of the account, you can try:
- Recovering hacked/lost accounts
- Account recoveries are moving again
- Cryptios

If you are not real owner, you can forget to recover it to pure status (no negative trust feedback).

Your account have get negative trust from DT members, it will make your hacked account can not participated in signature campaign

Yes, sorry, I'll add the link to my post.

This is your account? https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/razick-75386

Hello all,

I realize I will not be able to recover my account since I no longer have the same bitcoin wallet, but I just want to warn everyone that the user Razick is a scammer. This was my account until my extremely long and random password was somehow changed without authorization. Anyone who purchases someone else's account for the reputation is not to be trusted and no doubt has malicious intentions.

-Razick (the real one)

I found my old wallet! I will now try recovery
