Just my two cents, honey.
Have you followed the new procedure of account recovering? I believe your account will be unlocked soon if you have followed.
thanks, honey

22 days since pm sent to Cyrus as suggested.
Now am going to send another one for him and Theymos.
Its very early though,don't be in a hurry the time needed to recover your account take months even since you can see the other threads to know that people are waiting to recover their account even after 6 months. Sad
Am just following steps as suggested by Theymos. May be i will not be waiting for a long time if Theymos let more Mods participated in the accounts recoveries as mentioned few days ago here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.44432901

Another light brights for users who lost their accounts; By the insistence of many Mods to give hand, Theymos seems to think again about a process for accounts recovery:

maybe theymos and cyrus should just take a day or two out of every month to investigate and restore them.

It would take at least a couple hours every day to deal with them. Each case typically requires a lot of follow-up. And it's really annoying work. I used to do them sort-of regularly, but at some point I just couldn't stand it anymore, in addition to not really having time. Cyrus is still doing some, though not enough to keep up.

There's no need for any fee, and a fee probably wouldn't be appropriate unless absolutely necessary. Money is not a problem. If I could throw $100k at the problem and make it go away, I would do so. But in the real world, there is no magic wishing well where you can throw money and make things happen. You give people money and they don't do what you want, or the people you hire turn out not to be trustworthy, or you fill out the tax forms wrong and then later have to spend more time&money dealing with that than you would've by just doing the thing with current sub-optimal resources, etc.

I acknowledge that the current situation is very bad, and we have some plans for fixing it. I hope to have manual account reviews going smoothly again before the end of the year at the latest.

Friendly bump to you, hope Cyrus & Theymos notice it ASAP. I also feel the urge to recover my hacked one as well.
 
By the way, I just leave feedback your account smithAwesson (however not sure if my current rank makes any difference) once you manage to recover your account you'll have to sign another message to confirm it, so I can remove my red trust.
 
I believe starting a red trust campaign on those hacked accounts who has been reported + verified successfully will cause a significantly harm on those scammers who bought your hacked account for spamming / shady purposes.
 
It is negligence not alerting other people that your Hero Member account has been compromised:

Anyway the signature has been verified successfully eventually.

PS: Better practice is to use a signature in-between the [code][/code] tag. i.e:
Code:
{
  "address": "0x5c5f76f154539fff7a20695f3bbc32715c077c51",
  "msg": "My account smithAwesson has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to [email protected] . The current date is 24.05.2018",
  "sig": "0xcb522e450a9a9bc7bd9cdccb3416d6dba5591519ff4ccdc5e59ae77c3f27e0261fc4d6a9f07c52093c8bd06e882d36795d6b50334781e91e43de346c07a85c501c",

I had a hard time to verify this message... There is a whitespace in between 5 and 2 (bold and red below) on the signature hash
0xcb522e450a9a9bc7bd9cdccb3416d6dba5591519ff4ccdc5e59ae77c3f27e0261fc4d6a9f07c5 2093c8bd06e882d36795d6b50334781e91e43de346c07a85c501c
