SOLVED 22/09/17: Back in control of my account, thank you to those that helped - No forum mods needed now, will keep this post as a reference if it ever happens again.Hello, I have read the usual instructions for hacked accounts and unfortunately I never registered a BTC address for my Bitcointalk account, I am in no hurry to get the account back (although it is a bummer) but I am more annoyed at the fact someone else is using the nickname. I see the account still being used and it isn't their account, it is mine. I have tried to recover through the original email I created it with but I guess it has been changed.
I first noticed that I could not log into my account on my Mobile, it said wrong password and I didn't really think anything of it at the time. A few days later I tried again on my PC and that is when I knew something was wrong, I then i clicked on restore password and used my username which I then waited an hour or so but nothing came through so I tried again but using my email and it said An Error Has Occurred! That username does not exist. This is when I started to freak out a bit and searched for my profile and saw that it was advertising an ICO I had never heard of.. then understood I had been hacked.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nutmastertardd-245299I was using it a few days ago and everything had been fine for the past three and a half years, I can give details of all the messages inbox and outgoing and whom they were with (My email used to create the account even included in some of the messages) One of the message threads is between this account and that one. I can give the original password before the email was changed and I still use the email account I created it with on a daily basis, I even would still have the same IP address, and can give details of what devices it has been logged onto with since Feb 2014 locations too if it helps. I have accounts on other websites created around the same time with the exact same Username, I know it isn't exactly proof but I hope it means something (Same email used too).
It has had the email changed recently and started posting on different parts of the forum and joined signature campaigns, I just don't want someone else using that nickname as I use it on LocalBitcoins.com and a few other Bitcoin websites.
https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/NutMasterTardd/ I can prove this is mine by sending BTC to any address or messages and the account was created roughly the same time my Bitcointalk account was created. Created in 2014.

I still have access to all of these accounts if proof needed. All of the usernames are NutMasterTardd and they are registered to the same email I created the original Bitcointalk account. Surely I would not have these if the account was not mine..
This is a post from another member about hacks, which is probably spot on:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.22078768After finding this post and seeing my username on this list:
https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php September 20, 2017, 11:29:42 PM - NutMasterTardd - password changed
Trust summary for NutMasterTardd
This user's email address was changed recently.
The password wasn't reset via email, it was just changed. I suspect the hacker had my password, logged in and then changed the email and password. The current account user will have zero proof the account belongs to them.
I hadn't used this account (NutMasterTardd2) since about a year ago, and I only logged into this one to create this post. I am sure I can give more proof I just don't know what else to say.. I don't have any cryptographic evidence (That I can think of) but I am hoping someone will understand.
Slightly desperate and sorry for whoever has to read my nickname hundreds of time in this long post but thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
