If he still has control of the original email addy, doesn't that go a long way towards proving his "ownership" of the Bitcoin Talk account?

Yes i would say it does, but it is not 100% secure / verifiable, email accounts such as gmail could get hacked aswell, especially when you use the same password on SITE X, Bitcointalk Z, and gmail account Y.

If the DB of X gets hacked / leaked, so will both your gmail + bitcointalk account ( if the hacker has any brains ), but your private keys / bitcoin wallet won't.

It shod be enough. 100% for sure in this life if I remember correctly was only a death and taxes.

Yes I mostly use blockchain wallet. I do have access to my private key.

But what I do with it?
I must say I'm not keen to submit my private key to somewhere I don't know.

That topic explains on how to sign a message, you don't need to submit your private key to anywhere.
Sign a message using the address that you used on your hacked account and then contact either cyrus or theymos for recovery.

Thanks, I think I actually got it.

You can consider your account gone for good

But you can read https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345

Not if he is able to export the private keys of his web wallet.

Got hacked yesterday. Sr. member account
Email was changed and password also.
I locked my account by clicking email that is sent when email address is changed.

My question is how I generate message to get verifyed message? Never done that

I don't have bitcoin wallet on PC. I use onlinewallets.

Be a bit more specific, please.

What webwallet where you using, i assume blockchain.info? You will need to export your private keys from there in order to sign a message from your account.

Exporting from blockchain.info is rather difficult, but possible, since everything is generated locally in a .json file.

I've used the following guide in the past, you should try it, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-2l6xOqcbjs9QWEqSh72RD1d8EEdvG_hQuEXw_f_o6w/edit

If you were using a webwallet like coinbase, then yes, you're doomed and there is no way of signing a message with an adress from them.
