The first thing should be done is to lock all the shares which have been compromised. If they can can recover back the accounts through Theymos they will get the share back. Otherwise there is no way to find out.

by the time we convert this guy to a nem holder we will all be rich lol
He's beyond repair...

Guys, maybe forum admin could help us? Am I right that it is he? https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/theymos-35
As for my friend shaktigami, she did not lose her email and have some messages from this forum in it. Maybe this could help? If a person write from the same email which always was with his account and then confirms here (using new acc) that it is he who sent email, maybe that will do?

Hey everyone. I was working on an infographic for NEM this morning and thought I'd post it here for everyone to scrutinize. (Already posted on the NEM forums but possibly a different group of readers here who might want to see as well.)
Let me know what you all think. Still definitely a work in progress, just spent a few minutes on it this morning so feel free to suggest any changes or additions (or things to remove).
I'll just leave it as a link because it's quite large and I don't want to clutter up the forum with a giant image.

So far compromised accounts are:
Update: there seems to be even more.
- mangdd
- Zahlen
- nemeconomy
- nem-coin
- stoneone
- awais3344 (the one I received, a senior member)
Update: there seems to be even more.
yes we need to report all those messages
It seems the guy wanted to impress big boys by using a Sr. account. Failed.
Now we can assume either awais3344 has been solded or pirated or that awais3344 is the actual scammer.
Hello guys, I am very sorry if this has hurt anyone's account or reputation, as much as it has hurt mine.
please read the details of this here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8825065
That's why I created awais3344_1, I am still talking to theymos to hopefully get my account back.
As much as this is not my mistake, I would still like to say sorry to anyone's losses. I am not the cause but I am the victim.

I also got "cerebrally exploited" as they say. I responded to the same email that turned out to be a phishing attempt. I entered my BTT user name and password, and the reason I fell for it was because I'd recently cleared out my browser cookies and was expecting to have to log into the Bitcoin Forum. Anyway, it took me a few minutes to figure out that I'd hit the wrong site, so I changed my password on BTT. Fortunately my BTT password was unique.
Another reason to use Lastpass: https://lastpass.com/
You will never fell to fishing attempts as Lastpass won't fill the password if it's fishing/wrong site.

Changing your BTT account password is not enough. You have to consider changing the password of any other account were you used the same hijacked password. Including emails,Skype,....
It was a unique password, as in I only used it for BTT. The new password is also unique to BTT.
Is there anything else I should do?
As long as your BTT account is safe then I don't think there is anything else you need to do. But, just to be on the safe side, I would PM patmast3r or one of the other devs just to check in and make sure that your stakeholder status is still okay. I'm 99.9% sure that as long as your BTT account has not actually been compromised and as long as you have retained control of it, your stake is safe and secure.

I don't think the hacker or whoever would have had any time to do anything with my NEM stake, but just in case, is there anything else I should do to protect it?
My claim is still showing up on the document, but anyway, besides changing my BTT password, is there anything else I should do?
Or should I also say that whoever is handling the NEM stake getting posted to AE should ignore any emails requesting that from wiser, because I don't want that.
Thanks.

Where are we at with the "The Day" lol countdown please.

Did anyone actually get hacked or just fished like a noob? Somehow the terms seem to have become interchangeable. No offense, it has nearly happened to me. I am also willing to admit to buying vapor mining gear.
After people got fished, they lost control of their account. I'm guessing that's why people say "hacker".
It's not really much of a crack if you send someone your password
Cerebral exploit.
That sounds so much better than being duped
No shame in being duped, only shame falls on the dishonest scammers.
I agree wholeheartedly, but I would prefer to be cerebraly exploited if I have a choice.

Fishing and other social engineering is technically the weakest form of crack but often the most effective. I almost replied in the middle of the night to a Gox security update while only half awake. I nearly gave someone access to 1200 BTC... which I later sold the bulk of for around $20 each
Sending people your credentials is never a good idea. September 15, 2014, 06:59:54 PM
