lets make it short

#1 I was contacted (publicly!) by MZ via twitter. I know this will not be accepted as proof.
#2 The breach hilarious is referencing was announced by theymos 25.05.2015[1]. If this is not the case, please provide a link to a thread discussing the incident in question.
#3 Archive.is has a pretty good history[2] of the seclog.php[3] page
#4 MZ changed the password the same day[4]. Due to my timezone settings and my lack of enthusiasm I didnt bother to check how many hours passed.

You make a decent case.

I thus consider the accusation refuted and opose the rating until another accusation should be presented (if any).

I do not primarily because of this:

It is a little odd that you seem to be unable to sign a message from a prior known address.
What is the problem with your PC? Why are chances low of recovery??

Not being able to sign from any prior known address or PGP key makes me even more suspicious.

I also was contacted by MZ via twitter last year (6.2016 according to the rating left by EcuaMobi) during their absence to help repaiy the loan the still owed.

Feedback is there as a precaution as any account that didn't change their password since the 2015 forum hack are likely hacked themselves. I will happily remove it once reasonable proof has been shown.

If you are talking about the attack where theymos(iirc) said to change our passwords*, then, I was there at that time. You can see that by checking my "latest posts". I have changed my password at that time. However, I haven't changed my password after that. If my account did change hands, it should have been changed, right? And also do you really think I would give my personal accounts(Twitter, Github, Facebook, Skype etc...)?

I have exchanged encrypted messages with shorena. Although, I can't say content exactly as it was, but I can say what we have exchanged each other(if shorena is willing, in here, otherwise, in PM or Twitter). I have also exchanged my number with few Indians(eg: chronicsky, Mahin Gupta(Zebpay), Advaith Doosa and few others). Does Mahin Gupta's words have credibility? After all, he is one of the people behind Zebpay and he was previously founder of BuySellBitco.in. BuySellBitco is also his username IIRC.

Some of the accounts hacked haven't had their passwords changed (maybe to try avoid detection) but it's possible this and your accounts were compromised some other way (maybe reusing passwords etc). If shorena or someone else of similar stature can confirm details that may be ok but do you not have access to any old bitcoin wallets? I'm sure you didn't lose access to them and a signed message would be enough here.

This makes sense and I agree with hilariou, supposedly great guy like Zakir will definitely give his old address with signed message which I think it's a very simple proof, but i also do not see Zakir giving it and his just explaining the classic reason.
I personally did not know much about Zakir in the past but after seeing his good reputation from him I was glad to see Zakir come back here again. Hopefully you can provide solid evidence to solve this problem. Good luck!

* I have checked just now and it happened in May. I last posted in October. There hasn't been any attack after that, right?

Edit: It is not BuySellBitco, instead buysellbitcoin (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/buysellbitcoin-67318).

I think there is a decent chance it is hacked. Although his response he gave to your opening of this thread indicates it might not be.

Hello everybody! Its been a long time! Grin

I had personal issues and weren't able to be active in BT. Although, I was able to login a few months ago, I am unable to login to my pc. After fumbling through my things, I was able to get BT password, however, both my pgp & bitcoin address are lost. I am still trying to recover my pc account. Hopefully, I will recover it, though chances are low!

Btw, did I miss anything important? Especially posts in "Meta", "Bitcoin Discussion" and about popular/prominent users. Please post link to those topics if possible! Thanks in advanced!

Regards,
Muhammed Zakir

I think negative is warranted here until he can provide reasonable proof that this is actually the real Muhammed Zakir.
