And finally I have reimbursed kooke for the 1.5 BTC stolen:

Let that be a lesson to me... it cost me 7.808 BTC to learn I need a strong password here.
Don't learn that lesson the way I did... it can be expensive to clean up the mess that's created.

Thank you to everyone who gave me a hand.. and a special thank you to theymos for helping me recover my account!
I have a very strong password on my account now and a 'crack' will not happen again.

Did your account get compromised due to that recent phishing?

I can't say for sure... i know (at least i think) i hadn't entered my password in a while... its remembered on the site.  The original password was weak... so i figured someone brute forced it.

Honestly, i don't know how it was obtained.
I do not share my passwords with anyone else.

The person holding my account has cost me 6.308 BTC.. in addition to the funds he stole from users in the forum.

PLEASE make sure your passwords are secure, and that you change them regularly.
DO NOT use the same password for multiple sites.  Thankfully, I do not do that.



Wow, that is really terrible.

For your sake in the future and others, please take a good long read at this.

Stay Safe.

Not so much classy as I felt it was the right thing to do.
I should have had a stronger password -- a mistake that will not happen again.

I value my reputation -- and respect the people I have spoken with, and have done legitimate business with, here.
I am waiting for a response from the Admin.

That stinks that your forum account has been hacked but at least you are doing a good thing by reimbursing forum members for the money which they lost, I don't want to seem mean but I personally would not have given my own money to attempt to do that, I would have just created a new account and focused on that one. O'well way to be a good person and bump Smiley

And finally alex_fun reimbursed his 1.308 BTC he lost to the hacker holding my account.
Now that I have some mods attention -- I hope to hear back soon on recovering my account.

I see the wmikrut account is tagged with a scammer tag.
Good... at least it will keep people from doing business with whomever has my account atm.

One of the mods saw my PM and referred me to another mod who can help me.
Hopefully this will be sorted out soon!

I hope so for you. Hackers are a pain in the ass.
