Topic: [HELP] Recovering stolen account: signed message (Read 244 times)

The account is locked. You'll probably have to wait for the recovery tool that theymos is working on to get it back.

Verified:

I guess it depends on where you are?
I don't have a single friend that would know a priv key or seed if they were slapped in the face with it.

Wew, so meaning to say that the laptop thief has already known also about bitcoin and has gone even accessing it and changing your password for BCT forum. Probably the thief had known you already and are trying to get your laptop because the thief knew that you have some btc holdings and that only could be taken away from you by stealing your laptop. You should be extra careful next time.

I'll say that's in the past,right now at least 2 in 10 individuals know how important the bitcoin/bitcointalk account with a high rank is, with all this high paid signatures and all that,plus the media spreading word on the bitcoin daily
Even over here in my area I get surprised at the amount of people with knowledge on this network,i previously use to give my device to friends for temporary use,but I've had to stop all that.

I think OP's laptop thief targeted his laptop for the very reason he's using it now,probably could be someone he knows,just saying though

If you think your laptop being stolen is related to your bitcoin account being hacked that could really do a lot to help you narrow down who is the laptop thief.

It might be someone who went after your computer because they know what is on your computer, not just to steal a random computer.
Who knows your computer is valuable for its contents and would be interested in those contents?

I can't imagine someone stealing my computer and knowing that a bitcointalk account is worth doing anything with.

Help!

Dear forum members,

12 days ago my laptop was stolen  from a hotel. It contains  a password locker, bitcoin desktop wallet(electrum),personal photos,files,private backups(my bad for holding one copy of passwords,backup seeds,master thesis etc) and my email account was logged in. After it had been stolen , i logged out of active sessions via gmail,successfully transfered my coin/tokens so no one can use my personal info. I have no idea how big is stolen data..
Few days later my friend asked about lending posts on forum.I don't have much time to read forums because I am just busy person in offline life. I immediately checked my  forum account(wrong password),email address and found  mail from bitcointalk with a link to lock account. I locked account with  link(!!!) that received in email. I am 100% sure  page loaded with   locked notification (account is locked) after clicking to "Lock account".
Unfortunately somehow account is active now and thief  applied for signature campaign. I have sent several messages to the admins, following the process stated by theymos after short research.
I remember very well that I locked  immediately account after my friend's warning about lending posts on forum. 1 day later i sent signed message to admins and i thought Cyrus is deleting lending posts on forum. So  it should be fine imo  and just waiting for admin's reply to my last message. How is that possible stolen account was unlocked by hacker/thief? Please help me.


There are 3 password change timestamp in seclog. I guess account is used for taking loan later it was sold for cheap dirty amount after unsuccessful attemtps in order to default possible loan. Well, i accept my fault here for irresponsible treatment but priority was given to financial assets + master thesis(written  by using a large number of scientific facts during 8 month). I kindly ask you to appreciate my  feelings and hardworks . You will only got idea about this thread when you become a victim,please help me instead of  blaming.
