Nope, bumping it is fine just only bump it once per day. Just remove the previous bump when you do so it saves the staff from some needless and annoying work Grin

As long as you have included all the information set out on the sticky, and it's accurate then you've got about it the fastest way. Just wait patiently and send him a reminder every two weeks.
All you can do it wait. Cyrus is swamped with these sorts of requests sadly so it's likely going to take some time to get through them all. Send him a PM once a week but don't spam him. I know it's frustrating but there's nothing much anyone else can do.
Thanks for replies. I hope it's nothing wrong if I will bump this topic every 24 hours. I believe that Cyrus checking Meta board quite often, so, maybe he will notice my issue faster than among many PM's.

With recaptcha it is much harder to phish password(unless you forget that bct has recaptcha and you enter password to phishing site) and your account was created after the leak.
Sorry for going off topic with this post, but how that happened? I am curious because I see lots of accounts are hacked lately.
No, I didn't enter password on a phishing website, because I've been logged in in past few months (I clicked always stay logged in button), and I nver tried to login to Bitcointalk phishing websites. Everything is more complicated. First of all, my email was hacked, then hacker forwarded all incoming messages to his email. He changed my password via email recovery and finally changed my Bitcointalk account email address. He also tried to hack some other Bitcoin related websites, but 2fa didn't let him to do it.


Can you input your hacked email adress here, and tell us if and which sites your adress/password was compromised.

Maybe we can find the reason why so many accounts are hacked nowadays. And btw it's a safe site, they don't ask for nothing, just checking your adress with the database that's it.
Tried to input email address and here is the result:

I staked my btc address. So far he hasn't answered. Can someone tell me, how much it can take to recover account? Thanks.

Days/weeks/months/never.
Too true, sadly. Cyrus seems to be more active in the past few days so you might get lucky.
Thanks for responses. I hope that worse case scenario won't happen...

Hello, my account LTU_btc was hacked today
Link to profile:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/ltubtc-547435
I locked my account immediately by clicking link received to email, so, hacker wasn't able to make any damage to my account (thanks to theymos for implementing this thing). I sent PM to Cyrus with a signed message and link to post, where I staked my btc address. So far he hasn't answered. Can someone tell me, how much it can take to recover account? Thanks.

EDIT
I'm posting my signed message here (without email, becuae it's already sent to Cyrus:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account LTU_btc has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to xxx. The current date is 2017.11.20.
