I am suprised that brute force has done it 
i am sorry that your account was hacked, upon seeing that these situation are repaeting , i am satarting to think that I need to increase my security level .
Also i believe that forum as a minimum should make a warning with suggestions have to make your account more secure.

Every site developer or owners has their own way of designing their own website or site, so if you want new thing or good thing for the forum then you can suggest they put i under consideration but if you are not satisfied then at least try to make your own if you want to help.
This is getting off-topic now so i'll leave it at this.
The right way to do that is to lock this thread so that no one can add a reply.
And how do you plan to do that ?
If you were so confident of recovering the account on your own , what is the point of this thread ?
That isn't any of your business, As for what the point of this thread is? It's to start a dialog as to why one of the most popular BTC communities, Lacks such basic and essential features to secure its members accounts.
If you sell something that can be used for nefarious purposes then you contribute to part of the problem.
It is not being on a moral high horse. Not taking something that is not yours or encouraging others to do so is not "high morality" - it is common decency.

At no point was i encouraging anyone to 'take what isn't theirs' - I simply provided an example of what COULD be done with it based on the traffic stats the domain received.
Am i contributing to the problem? Maybe, So are hundreds of others, Keep that same energy with the same Legendary/Hero members who are ACTIVELY selling frauded GC's, VCC's & accounts.
Instead of harassing me over a 2-year old post.
Karma for what exactly? Was i selling a phishing script along with the domain? Get off your moral high horse i've seen WORST sold on here and you dont seem to mind, besides you do know the domain had other uses non-related to phishing, I merely used that as the selling point.
I do appreciate you helping out by making the thread and atleast preventing others from getting scam!

If you haven't got a signed message or pgp then I would just forget about the account because there's little to no chance of you getting it back.
Its alright i'm confident i'll get it back with or without the admins help, That's cool you have the right to feel that way.
Either way its good to know the scammer has been exposed at-least lol.
And how do you plan to do that ?

I really wish that I could use 2factor secutrty for this account.
Just because I post publicly my wallet addresses so who knows who will see it

It is mentioned in the same thread that you will have to wait for recovery.
If you think that this is unacceptable for you, do not submit the request and keep yourself engaged at other places which you think are more appropriate for you.

I don't mind waiting at all but my Issue is with how long the wait is as i stated previously, If you look throughout META you'll find hacking victims that have been waiting 2+
months for recovery which again comes off as lazy and inefficient on the admins part and frankly im surprised no one else is talking about it.
I mean really how hard can determining who the original owner of the account be? In my case my IP hasnt changed and i have the original email, also have my skype ID throughout thread history.
As it stands you'll probably be waiting somewhere between never and forever to get your account back. I agree the excessive waiting/accounts not being recovered at all is unacceptable and something needs to be done about it, but this probably isn't going to happen anytime soon. Besides, looking at this post below I think your account should be put to the bottom of the pile:
Selling the following domain, I tested it for a few hours and got 10 hits.
So i assume if you know what you're doing this can be useful
Asking for $50 in BTC.

On May 19th my Bitcointalk account was compromised via bruteforce, However it wasn't until July 9th 2018 that i found out as i'm not very active on the forum.

why would you do such thing as phish other peoples blockchain account. Don't youhave mony to get yourself money. You're supporting scammers here.
If you're this concerned you can always buy it and make the world a better place.
Was it karma perhaps ?

I can't understand how you claim to have your account "hacked" and then offer to sell it to the "hacker".
Surely you can see the issue with that.
You are willing to sell your account for a $100 to someone you are accusing of being a scammer.[/b][/size]
It looks like someone hacked his account, then they sold it. The person who then purchased it had probably just offered him the cash as hushmoney instead of having to return it. Can't blame the op for attempting to take it if the option was losing his account anyway, but looks like that's already happened.
Why is the email not validated while creating an account here ? Can a staff member throw some light on this ?
It's just not required for whatever reason, but I think it should be. It's very rare that a forum or website doesn't require such verification. Anyone can use your email without, not to mention bots take advantage of this. Requiring email verification would be one more hoop for them to jump though.
If recovery isn't a priority then why waste users time and forum thread space making a shitty post asking users to PM staff only to not hear from them after months later as seen in many posts throughout META? Again seems lazy and inefficient, I understand that admins have duties and possibly lack manpower but to put their users account security last or just completely disregard it, is unacceptable.

The forum has already made it clear that account recover is of less priority for them and thus it can take time. You will have to follow the same route like other members.
So far as improving the security of the forum is concerned, that involves a lot of work. Consider one person fighting against thousands of hackers to tackle this. No matter how much improvement is done to security features, there is always some chance of account hack happening.

Lots of work? All we need is an account changes confirmation email and it would have solved and prevented all of it. It isn't "lots of work" either, literally every single forum board software includes it as a default security feature from PHPBB, VB, MYBB etc. and yes even Simple Machines.

It is your responsibility to read forum rules after you register here. Do you want them to mail you requirements on how to use this forum safely ?
Sorry but you're wrong, This has nothing to do with them emailing us requirements for using the forum safely but rather about broken policies put into place which are not only making the recovery process complicated for the community but also doing absolutely nothing to prevent issues in the future.
As i stated previously it makes absolutely zero sense for admins to require this type of information if its not even a requirement to begin with, If anything it seems like the lazy way out to basically shrug off the user.
Hello everyone,
I'm making this post to make everyone aware of an alt-coin that goes by TedChain as it is a scam, Several days ago it came to my attention that my Bitcointalk account had been compromised.
To my surprise the person who took-over the account is claiming to have a 'gaming platform' coin that goes by 'TedChain', I immediately reached out to the 'dev's and posted on their thread but was ignored.
I proceed by contacting them via Telegram to which they admitted that the account isn't theirs and claimed it was simply a "misunderstanding" but offered to buy it from me,
Seeing as they had decent community feedback i offered to sell it to them for $100 USD. For a company who claims to have a 'revolutionary' coin, They wasted my time and are now claiming to not have any money and that they're waiting to make money off the crowd-sale scheduled for July 17th.

At which point i initiated the recovery process which has been a total waste of time.
