Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to recover the account if you can't sign a message from a staked address or PGP key.

Edit: is this your account? (sashabg). There is nothing on it (no posts, activity, etc). Why do you want it back?

Posts can be deleted, it couldn't have had much on it since it had no merit but still (as it was created before merit was originally given)...

That won't be sufficient. You will have to provide a signed message If you want to get your account back.

Follow the steps here If you can provide one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545

This hacking is becoming a regular occurrence. Every new innovation has associated challenge so I guess this is one of the challenges the blockchain have to contend with. Last time it was myetherwallate.com that was under attack; exchanges are countless and the list continue. Am sure will overcome, we just have to be careful.

If for each of this threads we would have had a short story explaining or speculating what were the reason that led to the hack, it would have helped reducing them.

it will be really hard to get your account back now
the only way you can do now is block your old account

Too bad. no matter what proof you provide, you will not get your account back. open a new one or buy one- but you will most likely get scammed

You can lock your account by check out your last registered email.
Unfortunately account recovery become low priority at the moment so all you can do is create another account

Ah ok, didn't know there was no posts. I think I had another account with a few posts.

No big deal then

Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account.

I don't even have a bitcoin address with the account, and I don't even know what PGP is

The account is "sashabg"

I doubt there is interesting he could do with my account anyway
