If you had an adobe account registered with the same email, that's where you should look for starters.

Is there any information about how this attack was perpetrated? Due to the "forgot my password" being hacked, I'm assuming OP was hacked through e-mail, but I'm not sure. Thoughts?
I agree that this would provide others with valuable information.  Considering what happened in the forums last month, no one is safe from scoundrels on the internet and we can all learn a valuable lesson from this incident.

But the happy ending of this event proves to me that this community is astoundingly honest and helpful to folks who need assistance with security.  The whitehat hacked the account from the blackhat because s/he knew the vulnerability that was exploited, and went to great lengths to determine that TheRealJonnySmithers was the genuine victim and helped him regain control of his original account (and very likely included lots of great advice in the message transmitted with the new password).  S/He earned a decent tip not only for the de-tech-tive work, but also for his/her admirable virtue and honesty.  If s/he can provide us with details about the hack and how to safeguard our own accounts, I'd gladly tip the mysterious stranger.

This renews my faith in the humanity and kindness of the bitcoin community and the kind of world we're trying to create with the help of this amazing technology.

So what just happened?  Someone hacked your account and you just got it back?
Yeah that's pretty much what happened. I think I got hacked due to a crappy anti virus program.
Anyone have recommendations for a decent, reliable program?

Can you post a link to this thread on  https://facebook.com/sparrointernational ? you can delete it right after I see it.

The messages thing is no good seeing as the hacker would know that too.
Done! Sorry about the awkward pause, I had to wait 360 seconds before posting.

If, by any chance, this is the hacker that's reading this post...
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of Friends. Friends I have acquired over a very long career. Friends that make me a nightmare for people like you
Friends who are very knowledgeable on computer/hacking and will figure out who you are.
And when I do, you're gonna to be sorry that you hacked and stole my account.
That will be all.
FTFY. Good Luck. *hangs up the phone*
LMFAO!! Yeah I'm not too great with computers so I just ask them if I run into any complicated issues Tongue
